How Much Is Your Home Worth?
Email Me New Listings
For over 22 years I have dedicated my career to providing the highest level of fulltime real estate services within the Greater Rochester area. I focus on all needs from first time homebuyers to sellers and investors.
I am very proud of the fact that 90% of my business comes from referrals and my legacy customers that continue to choose my services time and time again; generation over generation.
As a successful real estate investor, I have owned property and have been a landlord for over 30 years in areas such as Rochester, Northern New York, and Montana.
Below are just a few reasons you might decide to choose me to represent your next real estate transaction. I guarantee you will not be disappointed:
1. Local Knowledge – I was raised in Rochester and have a love for our beautiful and diverse area. I pride myself in always knowing and understanding the current market. When choosing my services to represent your buying or selling needs, you are choosing an award-winning agent that understands each region of the Rochester area – our partnership will allow you to start things out right by having the best person on the job.
2. Attention to the Details – With a keen eye on the details, I know how the tiniest improvements will increase the sale-ability of your home. I am creative with my MLS listings and take superior photos to highlight the best features of your property. I guarantee I will communicate clearly and concisely, and promise to return calls promptly, as well as make every appointment on time.
3. Connections and Representation - I am not a "beginner" or "part-time" professional, but one that has enjoyed my entire 23 years as an agent with Rochester's #1 premier broker, Nothnagle Realtors. I am committed and have worked with hundreds of agents over the course of my career, allowing me to pull from a vast list of resources and trusted professionals that will help me sell your home faster.
4. Tenacity - I am tenacious and will follow up quickly every time the home is shown, as well as all leads. My goal is to work hard and not give up, but to provide constructive feedback that will keep you informed and able to make good decisions in a timely manner.
5. Aggressive yet Polite – I am not afraid to speak up, but do so with respect and professionalism. I will be just as promotional about selling your home as if it was my own. By being aggressive, I will work hard to put your listing in the forefront of the Rochester market.
6. Flair and Image - You have worked very hard to prepare your home for showing. You should demand your realtor put their best foot forward also. I will work as your confident Trusted Advisor in representing you, and I assure you that each prospective buyer will feel at ease. My goal is to let the buyer know I would not even list a home that was not an excellent buy.
7. Knowledge of Today's Technology – I am an agent that absolutely believes in and uses technology with ease. This allows me to be more up-to-date and on top of the market in our area. As an independent agent, I use technology as "my team". Understanding the importance of marketing in today's world, it is an absolute necessity that technology be a partner in my business so that I can reach more buyers quicker.
8. Honesty and Integrity - You need an honest agent with a high level of integrity. One that will tell you like it is, even if it is not the easiest to hear. I will lay out exactly what you can expect, from sale price to timing and more. In the end, honesty will save you a lot of worry and disappointment.
9. Hardworking - I will work on the sale of your home as if it was my only listing. When you hire me to represent you, you get me – you get me on the phone, you get me at your open house, you get me at the showings, and you get me at the inspection, walk-through, and closing. I do not disappear after you sign the listing contract, but I will right beside you every step of the way.

States must set conditions that enable competency-based, personalized, anytime-anywhere learning to re-shape the student experience…
Recombinant Education: Regenerating the Learning Ecosystem
Guest post by Jillian Darwish
After months of work with partners around the country, I am delighted to announce the release of KnowledgeWorks Forecast 3.0, Recombinant Education: Regenerating the Learning Ecosystem.
With our first two forecasts, we anticipated that teaching and learning would become uncoupled from traditional educational institutions. Beginning in 2005, we saw the possibility for a vibrant array of learning experiences, resources, and tools to be available to nearly anyone, anytime, anywhere, for any purpose. In 2012, that future has certainly arrived!
Due to five key disruptions, we expect that the coming decade will bring experiments with the novel recombination of this array of unbundled resources, talent, and technology. We will have the opportunity to put the pieces – some long-established and some new – together in new sequences to create a diverse and evolving learning ecosystem that ensures that each and every child is prepared to thrive in a dynamic future.
Of course, Forecast 3.0 is but one thread in a rich tapestry of the current education conversation. We hope you will be interested in weaving in your ideas by engaging in challenging, inspiring, and disruptive conversations in your own communities, organizations, and schools or here online with us.
Over the next few months, the Organizational Development and Foresight team, along with our KnowledgeWorks colleagues and partners, will continue to elaborate on the disruptions on this blog. We will also use the forecast's "20,000 foot view" as a starting point for engaging in more practice-based conversations. We expect to examine questions about what the disruptions and opportunities to recombine components of the learning ecosystem might mean for topics as diverse as learning outcomes, curriculum, pedagogy, leadership, governance, teachers' roles and preparation, professional learning, funding, assessment, partnerships, community involvement, and even the very purpose of education.
Please look for future discussions here or, if we can support your efforts to catalyze new conversations in some other way, please contact us. You can also engage further by ordering hard copies of the forecast free of charge or download the forecast if that is of use to you.
We look forward to creating the future with you!

efficient and professional
I work in construction doing floor covering and had hired 3G construction to build a shell for a new second story on our cape cod style home. Their crew worked very efficiently together and produced quality craftsmanship work in a more than reasonable amount of time. I was very pleased with the service they provide and would consider them for future projects.
Very Professional and great work!
I had 3G come out and fix my house after the terrible wind storm this past spring which left a tree on my house, and ripped apart my siding. They were at my house earlier then they said and started right to work. Rob ordered my siding and said it maybe a shade off because the siding was so old. The siding matched perfect and they even finished up after it started raining! I have never met a company that goes above and beyond to make their customers happy! I will only use 3G for any home repairs and additions that I need.
Addition and deck
We recently used 3G to build an addition and small deck. They always showed up on time. Crew was friendly, accommodating and trust worthy. Brandon literally will respond to you any time, nights / weekends to answer any questions and address any concerns. Work was quality work! And they work fast and efficient and clean up job site. They willing to make changes and accommodate requests to ensure customer satisfaction. Brandon did a great job on my pantry and incorporated all my requests. I would recommend 3G to anyone and would use them in the future for any projects. I feel their pricing is fair. Finally a company that values quality work and customer satisfaction!!!
Excellent quality of work by professional and friendly crew
3G Construction did an excellent job building my back patio cover. They were always on-time, courteous, and professional. We couldn't be any happier with the final product. Thank you.
Finished Basement--Excellent Work!
Excellent work! We have used 3G for a few projects and they have always done a great job. Very difficult these days to find a company that is reliable-timely, trustworthy, with great quality, and 3G meets these expectations every-time. Brandon responds to our questions any time of the day including weekends. Always very helpful. They are all very honest and truly care about always doing the right thing and never take short cuts. We had to return a floor that we purchased on our own and the crew was willing to return the floor to the store just to help us out. They also gave us an honest opinion about the floor color and we ended up switching it out and are very glad that we did, because it looks soooo much better now. Their quality of work is excellent and all Brandon's recommendations of other subs were great. We are very happy with all aspects of the job and will continue to use 3G for our projects. They have an excellent reputation in our neighborhood for doing great work for several others neighborhood families. Thanks Brandon and crew!
New Windows and Siding
We hired 3G Construction to install all new windows, new siding, new storm doors front and back and a deck for the pool. Upon their arrival, Rob immediately introduced himself and his crew and each day they explained what they would be doing.They were here at their specified time and cleaned up before they left for the day. They were all very patient with our many questions and discussed with us any problems they encountered. They were very organized and knowledgeable and we were confident the job would meet our expectations. We have another project that we are hoping to have done in the near future and plan to have 3G Construction do the work. We definitely recommend them!
Home remodeling
We employed 3G Construction to build us a master suite (bedroom, bathroom and closet), and then had a handscraped hardwood floor installed in our family room. We will continue to contact these gentlemen for all of our home remodeling needs. They are neat, on time, reliable and fairly priced!! I would trust them to take on any project we would have...exceptional.....the best!!
I had this company remove a wall in my home. It was a main support wall at that. 3G did a fantastic job. From start to finish, from planning to execution, all went well. They were professional and exceptional. I would highly rrecommend them for your project.
High Quality, Highly Professional, Low Cost
Because of the positive experience we had 18 months ago when 3G Construction added ~1,000 sq. ft to our home, they were the first consideration for my wife and I when we needed a backyard deck. Again, Brandon and his crew were incredibly easy to work with and explained each step to us along the way. He was very communicative in the planning and layout stages and also very flexible in the pricing and payments, allowing us to use our personal credit card (points!) to purchase the materials directly instead of marking up the prices and billing us as some other contractors would do. The job site was kept clean and organized and our sidewalks and lawn were protected throughout the construction. Even the debris was kept organized as I was looking for a scrap 2 x 4 in the trash bin, all of the scrap wood was in one spot, the scrap vinyl in another, the scrap decking in another, etc. It was impressive. The deck itself turned out beautifully. Brandon and the crew knew that we were hosting a party for nearly 40 people and made sure to have the deck completed in time. They were very efficient and during the project did several favors for us that weren't part of the original scope (setting a fire pit gas line, placing the hot tub, etc). My wife and I received compliment after compliment during the party about the deck which was almost getting to the point of embarrassment. This crew does incredible work and are wonderful to work with! I cannot recommend them highly enough!
Siding Windows Doors Structural isues
I was driving down Robinson Street in North Tonawanda, NY saw a trailor in the road said 3 G construction had the website right on there truck. I went home checked them out on the internet. I gave them a call and it was a call I will never regret these guys were the answers to my prayers. They talk to you give you options on what to do spent time with you and most of all listen to what you wanted. They have done siding on my house enclosed a porch, fixed my outer wall ,gutters ,took done my roof off the porch, put on a new roof. My house looks wonderful! My neighbors have told me how nice the house looks.. If you are looking for a good contractor these are the guys to call most definitely! In fact I will have them back to do another job!
Terrific Master Bathroom Remodel !!!
We had a very specific vision for the transformation of our master bath. We were tired of the dated cabinets, tile (on the floor, in the free standing shower and surrounding our tub), counter top, plumbing and lighting fixtures and wallpaper. We wanted a major face-lift and upgrade to a very stylish and high quality finish. We tend to be very "detail oriented" (obsessive-compulsive). 3G's "bathroom crew" (Derrick and Josh) completely realized our vision. They worked diligently with us and maintained their professionalism and good humor throughout the process. Their craftsmanship, skill and experience were very apparent. They went the extra mile to coordinate with other tradesmen who installed quartz counter tops and the frameless glass shower surround. They always arrived as scheduled and early in the morning. Although the process took longer than we anticipated,we were glad to see that they did not "rush" and cut corners. The outcome made it all worthwhile. Oh, and they were extremely careful during the seemingly hundreds of times it was necessary for them to come in and out of the house and up and down the stairs (e.g. no marks on the front door or walls). They laid-out heavy canvass runners each day (from the front door to the upstairs work area) and cleaned-up before leaving each evening. The care they took was most appreciated.
Great Experience.
This company was recommended by a friend when I could not find anyone else willing to do the job. They came out repaired the foundations on my garage and home as well as re-pitched the roof, sprayed foamed the foundations walls, dry-walled, shingled the new roof, replaced vents and put up new vinyl shake siding. They did everything I asked for and it came out great.
Great work
These guys were great. Very pleased with the quality of there work. They were polite, protected the floors that they had to walk through, and cleaned everything up at the end of the day. We will be having our kitchen redone and will not hesitate to have them bid on the job.
Bedroom Addition
I initially considered using 3G Construction based on positive reviews found online. After my first meeting with Rob I knew that they were the guys I wanted to work with. I was doing a bedroom and bath addition and was very much wanting to take on several aspects of the construction myself. These guys respected that fact and were still eager to work with me. From the foundation footer and concrete pad, through the rough framing these guys were true professionals. They were here when they said they would be and they accomplished what they said they would. Brandon was always diligent in returning phone calls and addressing concerns. (Not that I had many) When it came time for me to put the roof on myself I found myself facing severe time restrictions. One phone call to Brandon and we added it to the contract no questions asked. They also took care of plumbing, HVAC and Insulation. From the day they started working at my house I felt like I was their priority up until they day they finished their contracted work. I am truly happy with my overall experience with 3G and would recommend them to anyone considering getting some work done. Thank you Rob, Brandon and the rest of the crew for a job well done.
Garage Transformation
Wow! The garage remodel into a living space was exceptional, thanks to 3G Construction Inc. of WNY, 3G was on time, honest, provided professional workmanship, plus excellent customer service. All calls were returned promptly and any questions were answered without hesitation. Small changes & additions to the original work to be performed were no issue. I was very happy with the affordable cost and excellent results. Thanks to all the workers that came to my home who were friendly, polite and tidy. No worries with this company. I have already recommended 3G to friends & family and look forward to call them again for my next project. I can't say enough.
Kitchen Remodel
I just finished having 3G Construction remodel my very outdated kitchen. The kitchen and dining room were stripped down to the studs. I had new electrical, walls, ceilings, floor and cabinets and entry way. The end product is amazing. And..... their part was completed in about 2 weeks. I could not be happier. In addition to the beautiful work they did, the project began when scheduled. They were on time each day and arrived ready to work (even the morning of a snowstorm). The entire crew was polite and I felt very confortable having them in my home. They left the work areas cleaned up each night and in the end hauled away all remaining debris. I could not be happier with the job they did and am already planning my next project. I would highly recommend them to anyone! Great job 3G.... I love my kitchen.
This is the crew you want working on your home!!!
When thinking about putting on a ~1,000 square foot addition to our home, 3G was recommended to us as a crew we might want to check out. After its completion now, we couldn't be any happier with their work, their cost, and their professionalism. From the beginning, Brandon met with us several times during the planning stage, explaining to us ideas we could include and issues we may run into. He was very patient and very thorough in explaining every detail and he never sounded like he was talking down to us or that we were a bother to him. Every phone call or e-mail was answered or responded to extremely quickly. We ended up expanding our kitchen, adding two bedrooms, adding two bathrooms (and moving another), expanding two other bedrooms, and digging a new basement space...not exactly a weekend warrior project or as simple as adding a coat of paint. Every aspect was taken care of by Brandon and his crew. While 3G provided their own subcontractors, we had the option to bring in our own or do our own work, saving us a bit of money. Brandon and his crew seamlessly worked with them and worked around a schedule that maybe wouldn't have been tolerated by other contractors. He also was careful in demolition to save our existing windows, doors, molding, etc. - as much as he could - to save us the expense of having to purchase new items if the old ones could be reused. As the project moved through its stages, Brandon was in constant contact with us to let us know what would be happening and when it would be occurring. On the odd occasion that something wasn't exactly perfect for us, Brandon put in extra effort (and usually his own cost) to fix it to make it right. One point, too, was that we were living in our house during the entire duration of the project. Before the crew left each day, they made sure to pick up and clean up so that we never had to deal with tools, debris, or equipment laying around. That effort went a long way to minimize our stress and keep our family life as normal as possible. The project turned out beautifully and we are almost embarrassed at all of the compliments we receive when hosting family and friends in our newly expanded home. In a time when there are several stories out there about sketchy contractors and faulty projects, these guys are as solid as they come. I cannot recommend them highly enough!
Skilled, experienced, professional construction company
The team at 3G construction worked with us on our remodel design from beginning to end, providing helpful information along the way that saved us time and money. We needed a new roof and some additional space in the form of a master bedroom addition and family room expansion. Brandon, Rob and the rest of the crew worked diligently to make sure that it all came together. I would recommend 3G construction to my friends and family because they could be rest assured that they will bring their professionalism and experience to the job.
Amazing service!
We hired 3G to do various work at our house. I couldn't believe how great the quality of work was and how fast they were. I added numerous items to their list and they had no problems completing the work I needed done. Very professional and a great group of guys. We couldn't be happier. I will recommend them to everyone I know!
These guys are good....
We finally found a reliable, trustworthy home improvement company that does quality work at a fair price. They have done several jobs in our neighborhood and everyone has been very satisfied. They show up on time, do great work, pay attention to detail and are very experienced. Brandon and his guys were very friendly. We will be calling them back soon for our next project. Highly recommended.
Buried water drain pipe repair
Brandon Parks of 3G Construction, excavated and repaired a buried broken water drain line I recently had at my home. Brandon excavated a 42" buried drain pipe and professionally reattached the pipe to the foundation wall and re glued all the connections. Brandon gingerly removed all the landscaping as well, and returned everything to its proper place after the job was completed, with little evidence of all the excavation that was just done. The job was done the right way with no short cuts and I no longer have to worry about this ever happening again.
Excellent workmanship
3G was prompt, honest, and workmanship was professional and excellent. I am happy to recommend them. I had water damage from a winter snow dam, and they tore down my wall and part of the ceiling and replaced the drywall. It was finished perfectly for my painter.
phenomenal service
After dealing with several companies that would not return my call, or completely blew off appointments and quotes, I was very surprised to receive a call back from Brandon not even 5 minutes after I left the message. 3 G provided us with a quote and finished service within days of the request. I was very impressed with the quality of work that was done. I was also incredibly happy with the workers that came to my business. They were friendly, thorough and very professional. I give this company a 5 star rating, and highly recommend contacting them for your needs. They will be my first choice whenever I need work done.
Highly skilled at framing and roofing. Completed a complex project perfect.
Excellent Experience
We recently contracted with 3 G to repair a garage roof and a flat roof over our breakfast room. Our experience was entirely positive. A pet peeve of mine is contractors who never call back when they are supposed to. This was never the case with 3G. Every time I called, I returned a return call very quickly. The price was fair. The contractors were friendly and very easy to work with. The work was done quickly and they did a very good job. The site was cleaned up properly. We are very happy with 3 G and plan on contracting with them in the future for some additional work.
Great company to work with!!!
I had a great experience with 3G Construction. The guys were Knowledgeable, courteous, on time & professional. They did not try to "oversell" the services that I needed. I will use them again for other home improvement needs.
Patio Roof, Pool Deck and Outdoor Shed
3G built our patio roof, pool deck and outdoor shed. The team is very professional and responsible. Arrived when they said they would and finished their work in a timely manner. The team answered all our questions and made sure all their work was to our satisfaction. Very pleased with their finished work. I would highly recommend 3G and wouldn't hesitate to hire them again for my construction needs.
Great job 3G!
I can't say enough good things about 3G. We have used too many inefficient contractors over the 12 years we have owned our house and we have never had a better experience than with 3G. We are so glad that we found them. These guys are efficient, polite, quick, and accomodating. They even helped me move furniture when I was struggling with getting it out of my house. We had them do our roof in 2013 and in 2014 we had them remove and replace our back deck which they did in less than 2 days. We get compliments from everyone we show it too. Not to mention the roof looks great too! I would recommend 3G to anyone. These guys are fantastic!
Professionals from start to finish!
Our overall experience with 3G Construction was excellent. From start to finish they were professional and easy to work with. They gave us an accurate and very reasonable estimate, started and finished the job within the time frame we were quoted, and our new roof is wonderful! We have had numerous contractors in and out of our home over the last 6 months and everyone comments on how well the roof was done. We would recommend 3G Construction to anyone and plan on using them for our future projects.
They did a GREAT job on my addition.
The crew at 3G added a garage and a 25' by 15' Bonus room to my existing home. The work is superior and the addition matches the existing house perfectly, looks like it was part of the original house. Highly recommended!!
Soooooo Happy!!
The men were very nice and easy to work with. Timing was good. Did our front porch in 3 days. Cleaned everything up when done and we are very pleased. We would call them again!

"Every new Fed chair always raises interest rates at the first meeting. It's an ego thing. Beyond that, it's very hard to tell. Financial markets that trade on the rate changes are pricing in a 30 to 40 percent chance of a further increase."

Small areas of antifouling and some areas of paint coating will be removed to carry out a the survey.
The anchor and chain should be flaked for the survey.
If at all possible it is recommended that the bedding is removed and lockers are emptied to allow for a thorough inspection to take place.
Keys must be left with the Yard if the owner is not in attendance and alarm codes must be made available.
For a thorough pre purchase survey an in water survey and sea trail is recommended in most cases.
Sea trials can be carried out to evaluate performance under operating conditions. This gives us the opportunity to operate the steering, autopilot, navigation equipment, engines, domestic sanitary systems, the sails and rig and deck gear.
A pre-purchase and condition survey is considered to ascertain the structural condition of the craft. All other items are inspected on a non-intrusive, visual basis only unless specifically agreed in the contract of survey.

Washington Nationals righthander Stephen Strasburg took another important step in his return from Tommy John surgery when he pitched a simulated game Monday.
And it was impressive, as Nationals manager Davey Johnson told The Washington Post that Strasburg hit 95 mph with his fastball.
"His velocity is good," general manager Mike Rizzo told the newspaper. "I'll keep it at that."
Fantasy: Should you pick up Strasburg?
The Nationals have yet to set a timetable for Strasburg's first minor league rehabilitation start, but The Washington Post speculates he first will throw a few more simulated games and batting practice sessions.
If Strasburg's recovery remains on track, he could make a couple of starts for Washington in September.
Following his 14-strikeout effort in his major league debut last June, Strasburg continued to dazzle. In 12 starts before suffering the elbow injury, he went 5-3 with a 2.91 ERA and 92 strikeouts in 68 innings. He had Tommy John surgery on Sept. 3.

Horrocks: No cliches in Trollied
Jane Horrocks has revealed she's pleased her new series Trollied isn't "cliched northern humour".
The Absolutely Fabulous actress plays an aspiring supermarket manager in the Warrington-set Sky1HD comedy, which begins on August 4.
Describing the series, she said: "It's not chip butty writing, which I'm very relieved about."
Putting on a broad northern accent she defined the type of writing she didn't like by saying: "In't it grand up north? And we're all called Tiffany and Kylie."
She added: "It's a bit more sophisticated than that, Trollied, in its writing style."

Somerville girls upset No. 5 Arlington Catholic, 61-50
Somerville handed fifth-ranked Arlington Catholic its second straight loss, knocking off the visiting Cougars, 61-50, last night.
After losing to Arlington Catholic, 60-50, two weeks ago, the Highlanders (10-10) came out firing, leading, 35-23, at halftime. Sophomore forward Melissa Baptista scored 14 of her 15 points in the first half and junior guard Indira Evora exploded for 30 points.
But the Highlanders all-around defensive effort made the biggest difference. Baptista pulled down 14 rebounds and Evora had 10 steals.
Ten steals is a tremendous number against as good a team as AC, said first-year coach John DePasquale. Defense was the biggest factor, our defense was outstanding.
AC (19-3) didn't go down without a fight.
Led by Emma Roberson's 30 points, the Cougars clawed back to within 4 points. Then Evora intercepted a cross-court pass and went coast-to-coast for a layup that gave the Highlanders breathing room.

Beginning to get antsy, a little more than usual this time. Will be having CT scans of my neck and chest at Hershey Medical Center on the 14th of September. Doctor's aid said no pet this time just CT's. Some of you know that in May, whilst hospitalized for a irregular heartbeat (had a quad by-pass in 2008) they found a 4mm nodule in my lung. My radiation oncologist at Hershey said that he was not concerned about it and we would stay on our regular schedule for scans, this will be a 12 month check up. I too, after he said he was not concerned, was not concerned but now it's lurking in my head. My heart got straightened out and was just an irregular heart beat. Nothing I can do but try to immerse myself in things that occupy my mind. Denis
Aug 30, 2012 - 8:57 pm
Will be praying that everything is okay!
Aug 30, 2012 - 10:18 pm
Hey Denis,
Lurking in your head is like an itch you can't scratch (it bugs the heck out of you). No concern by the doc is pretty good indicator in your favor. This whole cancer thing makes us wacko (once in a while). Here's hoping everything is ok and that that itch goes away for awhile.
Aug 30, 2012 - 11:35 pm
It's always easy for the MD to say "he's" not concerned. Yes, he may be the professional, but look at it from our point of perception and what we have been through and "then" say you're not concerned....friggin nearly everything concerns us.
Sorry for the anxiety, h\it's something we all go through.
Thoughts and prayers for uneventful results,
Sep 01, 2012 - 1:12 am
better news than what we all were afraid might be in the works back then, Denis. Wondered how you are doing. Scans- opportunity to put your mind to rest and be told all is good- hoping that's the results.
Sep 01, 2012 - 7:08 pm
As John said, It is easy for the Docs to say unconcerned." They were not concerned about Jim's ear pain for three years and it turned out to be stage 4 cancer. So I say to those professionals, "Tell me not to be concerned when you are the one who is facing test results after treatment for cancer."
I pray for your peace and a NED.
Sep 01, 2012 - 8:00 pm
You sound perfectly normal as we all get a little nervous when it is time to see the doctor again and do a scan. And believe me any little bump or new mold gets me on edge sometimes, just do what Kent always say just Believe.
God bless, I will keep you in prayers on the 14th my brother
Sep 02, 2012 - 12:25 am
Ya, I got two of the damned 4mm nodules in one lung. My doc says the same thing; not to worry. I understand a lot of us here have the nodules.
My next PET-CT is scheduled for November or December, if my insurance carrier does not object... I'm pretty sure I'll be sweating it by then.
Sep 02, 2012 - 12:37 am
the scanxiety just comes with the territory I guess...no way to avoid it after all we've been thru.
Sep 04, 2012 - 7:39 pm
Thanks all, hey Hondo good to hear from you. Yes it does does get scary, I guess September id test month got me. Got to have an ultrasound of my carotid arteries this Thursday, last time I had them was last September and arteries were clear, nah, right side had some stuff but that was there 4 years ago, docs said nothing to be concerned about. Get the results of that on the the 12th. Hershey and neck and chest scan on the 14th, get results 17th. 20th creatinine blood test and prostate check. Gonna be busy, plenty of stuff to occupy my mind. Denis

As I said before, adding dihedral to the canard makes it act a little like a V-tail mounted on the nose, or the same effect as adding a small vertical fin to the nose. This reduces yaw stability.
There is a balance between fin effect (yaw stability) and wing dihedral. If you have too much dihedral and/or not enough fin, you get a plane that's prone to "dutch roll", a sort of rolling+yawing oscillation that looks something like a falling leaf.
If you have too much fin and/or not enough dihedral, you get spiral instability, the plane wants to "overbank" itself into a "graveyard spiral".
It sounds to me like your example had that second problem, too much fin. By adding some dihedral to the canard, yes, you increased the total dihedral effect a little bit, but probably only a minuscule amount. The biggest effect was that the dihedral in the canard acted like you added a fin to the nose, counteracting some of the fin effect on the tail, and thereby reducing the total yaw stability to what the total dihedral could support.
The tail moment arm is considered to be the distance PARALLEL TO THE AIRCRAFT CENTERLINE from the aerodynamic center of the wing to the aerodynamic center of the tail surface in question. So, in that sense, no, the fact that the fins are out at the wingtips should not make any difference. What matters is how far aft they are.
However, if those fins are NASA winglets on the tips of swept wings, such as on typical Rutan canards, there is another factor that comes into play.
Those winglets are designed to lift inwards, so that their lift opposes the wingtip vortex (see pic). Properly done, they actually harvest the energy from the wing vortex flow, reducing the induced drag of the wing.
But, in the case of a swept and/or dihedralled wing that has those fins significantly aft of the C/G, there is another effect that comes into play in turns. In a turn, the wingtip on the outside of the turn has a higher airspeed than the one on the inside of the turn. If those tips carry winglets on them, then the inward lift of the outside winglet will be greater than the inward lift of the inside winglet. If those winglets are significantly aft of the C/G, then this difference in winglet lift will tend to yaw the plane towards the outside of the turn.
If the wing has sufficient dihedral effect (either due to dihedral, and/or due to sweep plus lift coefficient), this yawing will then make the plane try to roll back towards level flight, even in a perfectly coordinated turn. The plane will have naturally positive spiral stability. A single, centrally mounted fin of the same total area and moment arm would not have this effect, so yes, in this case the fact that those winglets (not just fins) are out at the ends of the wings, far form the aircraft centerline, does have a significant effect.
I should also clarify the matter of dihedral effect due to sweep. Sweep can act like dihedral, although not always. There is an old rule of thumb that says three degrees of sweep is about equivalent to one degree of dihedral. Of course by now most of you probably know how I feel about rules of thumb.
The problem is that the amount of dihedral effect caused by sweep varies with the lift coefficient. That three degrees rule of thumb is roughly in the ballpark for typical arrangements, IF the plane is at high lift, such as near stall. Takeoff, climb and on final approach to landing would be examples. However, if the plane is at low lift, such as cruise, the dihedral effect of sweep is reduced, and at zero lift it goes away entirely.
Now, recall my earlier comment that there has to be a balance between fin and dihedral, or you can have problems with dutch roll and/or spiral instability. A plane with sweep can act like it has too much dihedral at high lift conditions (and problems with dutch roll during things like landing approach), AND act like it has too little dihedral (and problems with spiral instability) when at high speed/low lift. And yes, this is not just theory, I have seen this in practice.
Note on planes like the VariEze and LongEze how the wing is set with a little bit of anhedral (downward dihedral). This is to compensate for the dihedral effects of their swept wings. In typical flight modes, that sweep would act like too much dihedral, causing dutch roll problems. The anhedral cancels out enough of the sweep's dihedral effect to avoid this.

Quickie 380 wanted
New to the site and not sure where to post. I am looking for a quickie 380 to buy. Believe they were made by rich models but no longer made. Anyone selling one?
Query: since the wing is typically behind the CG in a canard aircraft, would large amounts of wing dihedral also have the effect of extra fin, thus contributing to a "too-much-fin" condition where dihedral in the canard would helpful?
1/4 scale Long EZ
I'm getting towards the end of my build now and waiting for more enlightenment from this discussion before settling on my winglets. Mine isn't truly a Long EZ because I used the outer wing panels from a much larger Starship. Studying the pictures of EZs on line there appears to be quite a bit of variation amongst them.
So, if I understand the discussion so far - fins normally work to counteract dihedral or sweep. Large fins give positive spiral stability where the plane in some conditions needs outward rudder in a turn to stop it getting tighter and tighter. I noticed this with a Catalina no sweep or dihedral, just a large parasol wing and a very large fin.
Dutch roll results from too much dihedral or sweep and not enough fin. Ive seen this on a Polaris, close to the stall when it starts to wobble. Perhaps thats not a Dutch roll but it is the only unwanted roll instability Ive experienced.
I did have a plane once without enough fin or moment arm and that used to go a bit sideways when gliding in for a landing. Nothing unstable about it.
A lot of military jets have anhedral and also pretty large fins.
With regard to Starships and Long EZs I have studied the various 3-views and Ive never seen either dihedral or anhedral, though I know that 3-views are not always reliable. The Starship has its winglets tilted inwards 2deg. I think thats in order to direct the inward lift in a straight line which passes through the CoG. The Long EZ doesnt have that, maybe just because it was simpler for the home builder. They both have rudders which move outwards only. This means that, in a turn, the rudder increases the inward lift of the inside winglet and it does nothing to the outside winglet.
I guess that long thin canard on the EZ will help to dampen any roll instability. It has no dihedral or sweep.
Nightlight Canard Update
Greetings canard friends. Here are a few shots of the latest and greatest little GWS Slow Stick Canard project I've been occupying myself with on this very rainy day. I tell you, Charles makes stuff look so easy, he'll even tell you it's easy.......but it's not! I'm almost done with it, while it is a very well reinforced little bird, over powered and all.....it feels heavy as a BRICK. The 4 inch ultra light wheels had to go as they could not support the weight. I'm going with a more sturdy wheel, a bit more weight though. I took a chance on a little all foam canard, with lots of dihedral. I think it will fly, but I'm convinced that there is not enough area or throw to the elevon (I think that's what it's called). I plan to sheet over the foam with thin balsa on both sides of the control surface only, to add a little more throw, and I'm planning to install hinges since it's a very sketchy foam seam hinge and I just don't trust it's integrity. Next nice day I am planning on making a maiden flight video, so we'll see. I will post it for your viewing pleasure (or cringe whatever the case may be!) Take care,
Canard/tandem with lots of dihedral on both flying surfaces has been tried (see pic)...
Seriously though, one thing you can do that will improve the plane significantly is tape over any gaps in the middle of the wing and canard. Can't see for sure in your pics on the Slow Stik wings you're using, but the old GWS "Pico Stik" or "Lite Stik" had a pretty substantial gap in the middle of its wings. The middle of the flying surface is the part that works the hardest at making lift. Having a hole/gap there, even a small one, is like trying to fill up a bathtub with the drain open. The gap can nearly double the induced drag.
Last edited by Don Stackhouse; Feb 11, 2013 at 05:11 PM.
Thank you Don. Great advice, much appreciated and you're exactly right.....huge gap on that main wing, then many holes, etc. on the repurposed canard. I'm going to lay in the floor and envision a wind tunnel situation. One great thing about this type of project......a wide piece of strategically applied packaging tape can fix a problem in short order.
There used to be a website with all sorts of mods for the GWS Pico Stik, including a canard version (I checked for it just now, but it doesn't seem to be available anymore). There were a few notes of mine on it, including taping over the gap, as well as how to cut the outboard ends of the wing free about 6" in from the tip, then sanding a bevel and taping them back on with polyhedral. Dramatically improved the roll response and stability, without all the strings hanging out in the breeze that other folks were using.
At the time I ran the wings through my planform analysis software. Induced drag is inversely proportional to the square of the wingspan. With a gap in the middle, the wing acts like two half-size wings, which is far worse than one wing of the same total span. My planform analysis software told me that the induced drag with the gap taped over was only 54% of what it was with the gap open. A bunch of us tried it, and all found our real-world results in line with what the analysis had indicated.
The bigger Slow Stik did improve a number of details quite significantly. It had actual dihedral built into the wing mounts, and I believe the gap between the wings is proportionally smaller. Still, even a 1/16" gap can have a surprising effect on induced drag.
On the subject of tail area, Don says:
Are you making allowances for the side area of the nose? That has quite a bit of fin effect of its own, which would cancel out some of the yaw stability from the winglets, and call for a little more Vvt than normal.
When thinking about margins of error I like to err on the safe side rather than the other side, at least in the beginning. I can always cut a bit off the top of those winglets if I can land the plane in one piece.
so "Does that mean I should use slightly smaller winglets?" Probably not.
It's not just how much is in front vs behind the C/G, you also have to consider how far in front or behind. A lot of that nose is very far in front, while the portions behind are on comparatively shorter moment arms.
The other thing to consider is that winglets add a significant amount of dihedral effect of their own, which then requires even more yaw stability to avoid dutch roll. Canting the winglets inward (such as the Starship's) can help mitigate that additional dihedral effect.
Sorry about the delays getting back on your's and John's questions, it's been busy here, plus I wanted to think about these a bit.
Roll authority from rudder (yaw) coupling with dihedral is primarily dependent on two factors: the amount of yaw, and the amount of dihedral. Increasing either one (or both) will increase the resulting roll authority.
If you have too much fin and lots of yaw authority, and you're still not getting enough roll response, or if it's taking too much yaw to get adequate roll response, then increasing dihedral should result in faster roll response with less yaw.
Yes, adding dihedral to the canard does add some total dihedral effect. However, it's a poorly effective way to do it, unless your canard has nearly the same span as the wing. Adding more dihedral to the wing is usually a better way to go.
Basic principles:
If you want to alter roll behavior and stability, look for the widest thing(s) on the airplane. Normally that means the ends of the main wing.
If you want to alter yaw stability, look for the places furthest ahead or behind the C/G. Generally that means the tail, or the nose.
HOWEVER, you're talking "qualitatively", not quantitatively. The changes we're discussing tend to have effects on both yaw and roll. The question is just how much, in comparison to each other. Yes, the wing adds fin effect, but the effect on roll stability is probably going to be much greater, because of the great span of the wing, compared to its relatively tiny moment arm for yaw effects. Thus, the balance of the two is probably going to favor the effect on roll.
There are ways to play these effects against each other, allowing you to control how this balance comes out, but that gets really complicated.

Absentee ballots for the Republican presidential primary will start hitting the mail Tuesday, but thousands of Florida voters who think they've signed up to get one may be surprised.
Elections supervisors say they fear many voters aren't aware that a 2010 election law change eliminated a provision that automatically sent an absentee ballot to every voter who had requested one in the previous election. And some blame ignorance of the change for a big drop in applications in advance of the Jan. 31 primary.

REGINA - The Hamilton Tiger-Cats arrived at the Regina airport on Tuesday night looking cool and calm, knowing full well their Grey Cup week will be nothing of the sort.
Veterans such as quarterback Henry Burris made sure to let their young teammates know before hopping on the plane in Toronto that "normal" will never be part of the vocabulary when you're playing the Saskatchewan Roughriders for the Grey Cup at Mosaic Stadium.
"We talked about just how crazy it's going to be this week," Burris said. "I know there's been some guys who played in big BCS games and different things like that, but we made sure we let them understand that this is a different level than probably anything you've experienced, because when it comes to the game of football it gets no better than here."
Burris became a starting quarterback in the CFL with the Roughriders before leaving for Calgary via free agency and then getting traded to Hamilton.

Impella® Device — Indication & Safety Information
Protected PCI
The Impella 2.5® and Impella CP® Systems are temporary (≤ 6 hours) ventricular support devices indicated for use during high-risk percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) performed in elective or urgent, hemodynamically stable patients with severe coronary artery disease and depressed left ventricular ejection fraction, when a heart team, including a cardiac surgeon, has determined high-risk PCI is the appropriate therapeutic option. Use of the Impella 2.5 and Impella CP Systems in these patients may prevent hemodynamic instability, which can result from repeat episodes of reversible myocardial ischemia that occur during planned temporary coronary occlusions and may reduce peri- and post-procedural adverse events.
Cardiogenic Shock
The Impella 2.5®, Impella CP®, Impella 5.0®, and Impella LD® Catheters, in conjunction with the Automated Impella Controller (collectively, "Impella® System Therapy"), are temporary ventricular support devices intended for short term use (≤ 4 days for the Impella 2.5 and Impella CP, and ≤ 6 days for the Impella 5.0, and Impella LD) and indicated for the treatment of ongoing cardiogenic shock that occurs immediately (< 48 hours) following acute myocardial infarction or open heart surgery as a result of isolated left ventricular failure that is not responsive to optimal medical management and conventional treatment measures (including volume loading and use of pressors and inotropes, with or without IABP). The intent of Impella System Therapy is to reduce ventricular work and to provide the circulatory support necessary to allow heart recovery and early assessment of residual myocardial function.
Important Risk Information for Impella devices

LONDON, March 30 (Reuters) - South Africa's rand recouped some losses on Thursday from a three-day dive as the future of the country's finance minister remained uncertain, while Czech crown watchers were waiting for signals on when its peg to the euro might be removed.
The saga over whether South African President Jacob Zuma would sack investor favourite Pravin Gordhan took a fresh twist as the country's opposition party said it had rejected plans for a cabinet reshuffle that would have removed the finance minister .
The rand had already bounced having lost more than four percent since the start of the week and stood almost 1 percent higher on the day before a central bank meeting that is expected to leave interest rates unchanged.
"Realistically all of us in the market are waiting to see how things play out with the finance minister," said Yacov Arnopolin, a portfolio manager focusing on emerging markets at PIMCO. "If he is removed that would not be viewed positively by the market."
Shares and bonds in Halkbank, Turkey's fifth largest bank by assets, also steadied having slumped the previous day when U.S. prosecutors charged one of its senior executives with participating in a multi-year scheme to violate sanctions against Iran.
The bank had been preparing for a bond sale but that now looks likely to be put on hold.
"At the moment it (scandal) seems contained but you never know how these things turn," said Aberdeen Asset Management's head of EM corporate debt Siddharth Dahiya.
Halkbank's woes did not, however, deter the Turkish Treasury from marketing a sovereign sukuk.
In central Europe, the Czech central bank was holding its final meeting before the expiration of its 3-1/2-year old pledge to keep the crown at a level no stronger than 27 per euro.
The crown's implied euro exchange rate was near multi-month highs in forwards contracts.
The Czech government sold twice as many bonds as planned at an auction on Wednesday, seeking to benefit from low yields before the cap is scrapped.
Most analysts expect the move in April or May with inflation now back at the CNB's 2 percent target and FX reserves triple what they were before the cap's introduction in 2013.
Away from the various flash points, emerging market stocks drifted away from two-year highs and most emerging currencies edged lower following talk of as many as three more U.S. rate hikes from Federal Reserve officials.
Ukraine bonds nudged slightly higher as hopes the IMF will provide another instalment of its aid helped soothe the pain of a loss to Russia in the first round of court battle over $3 billion Moscow lent to Kiev in late 2013 .

The Israeli army destroyed four Palestinian homes and dismantled several tents near a large Jewish settlement in the West Bank east of Jerusalem overnight, the army said Sunday.
They said the homes were erected "illegally" on land settlers want to expand Maale Adumim, the biggest settlement in the occupied West Bank, with a population of around 20,000 a few kilometers outside the city limits.
Israeli authorities last week destroyed another batch of houses built in the same area after a freeze of several months on such action ordered by Prime Minister Ehud Barak's government, army radio said.
Barak has said he wants to annex Maale Adumim to Israeli territory in a final peace accord in return for transferring Arab villages near Jerusalem to the Palestinian Authority. The Palestinians rejected the plan on Monday.
The future of the some 150 Jewish settlements in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip is one of the thorniest issues to be tackled in the so-called final status negotiations, set to resume next Sunday in the Israeli resort of Eilat – OCCUPIED JERUSALEM (AFP)

LennonNYC is the story of one of the most famous and influential artists of the Twentieth Century, and how he found redemption not in the public adoration he craved as a youth, but in the quiet and simple pleasures of fatherhood. And, though he wasn't a typical immigrant, his story is certainly an immigrant's tale. Lennon came to New York City in 1971, seeking what every other immigrant who has washed up on it's shores has sought: freedom-the freedom to be himself and not 'Beatle John,' the freedom to love without the overwhelming public scorn he and Yoko had suffered in London, and, simply, the freedom to live a normal life. LennonNYC tells this story with never before-released in-studio recordings, concert film only recently transferred to HD, and a trove of Lennon/Ono compositions-some in versions previously unheard. It also contains interviews with those closest to Lennon during this period in his life-friend and photographer, Bob Gruen; musical collaborator and drummer, Jim Keltner; May Pang, Lennon's companion during his 'lost weekend; 'rock superstar, Elton John; and Jack Douglas, the producer of Double Fantasy. LennonNYC also contains one of the most powerful and emotionally direct interviews Yoko Ono has ever given. No film about John Lennon has ever covered this story with the same breadth and depth as LennonNYC.

Business in Brief
Young couples lead second-quarter rise in new-home purchases
A jump in the number of first-time home purchases by young couples and the return of investors to the real estate market are the two major trends noted in the quarterly real estate review published yesterday by the Finance Ministry. In the second quarter of the year, 26,700 homes were purchased, a 9% increase over the second quarter of last year. The second quarter home sale pace was also about 9% higher than the first quarter of this year. In the Jerusalem area, however, home sales declined by 2% from the prior quarter, but it was also the only area where purchases by foreign residents picked up. Nationwide, about 11,100 of the homes purchased in the second quarter were bought by first-time buyers, mostly young couples. (Nimrod Bousso)
Survey finds 15% of building firms are in financial trouble
About 15% of all companies in the construction, real estate and infrastructure sector are experiencing financial difficulties, a survey by the business information company BDI said in a report released yesterday. BDI said the industry saw a small rise in business risk over 2013 but that the problem would likely become worse next year. Among sector companies traded on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, BDI found from a survey of their financial reports that 28% had been tagged by their auditors with a "going concern" or similar warning. "Bank of Israel restrictions allow the banks to apportion no more than 20% of their loan portfolios [to the building sector]," said BDI Co-CEO Eyal Yanai. "The inability of contractors to get credit can lead to delayed payments to suppliers and the company's collapse." (Nimrod Bousso)
Energy Mininstry renews subsidiary to replace power-guzzling refrigerators
The Energy Ministry said yesterday it is renewing a NIS 50 million program to subsidize energy-efficient refrigerators. The aim is to coax households into trading in older, electricity-guzzling models - a number estimated at about 50,000 - for new models with subsidies. The assistance is equal to about 30% of the cost of a new refrigerator, or between NIS 800 and NIS 1,200. Replacing 50,000 fridges would save 60 million kilowatt hours and save each household NIS 750 annually, the ministry estimated. The program, which began a year ago, is now slated to run until the end of 2013, during which time the ministry hopes to replace some 140,000 refrigerators. To qualify, a refrigerator must be at least seven years old and have a capacity of at least 300 liters. A list of approved merchants and models appears on the ministry's website. (Itai Trilnick )
Exports by Arab sector account for just 1% of the total
Exports by companies in the Arab sector amount to less than 1% of the total, the Industry, Trade and Labor Ministry said yesterday, in advance of a meeting set to take place today between its economic attaches and Arab executives in Nazareth. About 20 Arab-owned companies engage in exports, ranging from traditional products like food and soap to high-tech. But despite what trade officials said were quality products with a great deal of potential, their sales overseas amounted to about NIS 30 million annually. In response to growing interest by Arab companies in exporting, the ministry recently established its Tevel program with a NIS 2 million budget to help selected businesses with expanded aid and advice on developing markets. (Tali Heruti-Sover )
VAT raids on 53 Tel Aviv-area businesses nets NIS 8m in unpaid tax
Tax officials announced yesterday that they raided 53 Tel Aviv-area businesses last week, including 28 auto-repair garages, 13 restaurants and 12 hair salons, on suspicion they were not paying value-added tax. The raids were conducted under the Tax Authority's "You avoid, you pay" campaign, which has seen a series of operations focused on specific geographic areas. Last week's raid followed four months of surveillance at garages and visits by undercover agents. All told, the operation last week netted NIS 8 million in unpaid VAT. (Moti Bassok )
IDB settles with bondholders
Nochi Dankner's IDB Holding Corporation has reached an agreement with bondholders to reschedule its debt. The deal, reached Tuesday night, calls for holders of Series Dalet bonds to defer payment they were due until the end of March. In return, Dankner's privately held Ganden Investments is to inject an initial NIS 120 million, to be followed by another NIS 60 million by the end of May. The arrangement is accompanied by an assurance that a payment rescheduling plan will be presented to all of the company's creditors by the end of April. (Shelly Appelberg and Michael Rochvarger)

Looking back, this was a real good year. I especially had a real hard time narrowing down my top songs to 20, so I went ahead and expanded my songs to 40 (for the price of 20!), and any of the LP's in my top 5 could easily be #1. I only had about 14 LP's that I considered for my top 10, but there were a lot of albums that had some really good songs, but just weren't good enough to make the top 10 LP's.
I would also like to complain about the auto-spell check function of Microsoft Word that changes Tonedeff to Tone-deaf, Del the Fukee Homosapien to Del the Funkee Homespun and plenty of other annoying crap. So, if you see any weird spellings, that aren't just a result of your normal hip-hop spelling, please ignore them. Just a rant.
BC's Top 10 LP's of 2005
10) Edan – Beauty and the Beat – There might not be a lot of stand-out songs, but listening to it as a whole really makes for a great listen and a solid LP.
9) Dangerdoom – The Mouse and the Mask – I dig this LP and I love all that Adult Swim stuff (well, a lot of it). Dangermouse is a crazy-dope producer and DOOM is one of the greats out there right now (just not live).
8) Fatlip – The Loneliest Punk – I was pleasantly surprised by Lip's debut solo LP. It starts to trail off a bit at the end, but the first 75% of the LP is nice. I'd add "What's Up Fatlip?" to my songs, but it came out back in 1999, but it's the best song on the LP.
7) Busdriver – Fear of a Black Tangent – Busdriver might not be some people's speed, but I really like him and his odd, interesting albums. I listened to this straight through numerous times with a large amount of enjoyment.
6) Blueprint – 1988 – Was 1988 the height of hip-hop greatness? I don't know, but this album from Blueprint is straight dope. Go ahead and buy this if you don't already have it.
5) Tonedeff – Archetype – I love this album. I think there is one song on here that I don't like and I can't wait to get the next Tondeff album.
4) Asamov – And Now… – This one took me a while to get into, and I actually remember posting on www.mastaace.com with Travis about this one. He was digging it, but I hadn't gotten into it, but gave it another chance and just loved it.
3) CunninLynguists – A Piece of Strange – They came a little more mellow on this album, but it's a good one. Kno continues to grow as a producer and Deacon, and now Natti, are well above average MC's.
2) J-Live – The Hear After – Another solid album all the way through from J-Live. I just can't get enough of Mr. J-Live and you get another classic from The Hear After.
1) Atmoshpere – You Can't Imagine How Much Fun We're Having – This is the first Atmosphere LP that I really just couldn't get enough of. I liked Atmosphere before this, but wouldn't call them one of my favorites really, but it was always nice to be able to get some of these local folks here in the Twin Cities to go to a hip-hop show. Everyone wants to claim to be down with big local acts. Anyway, this is their first unskipable album and more than worth the 15 bucks or so it'll cost you.
BC's Top 40 Songs of 2005
40) Grand Ol' Party Crash – Cage – A nice anti-Bush song with Jello Biafra (from Dead Kennedys) playing the part of W.
39) Party Hard – The Perceptionists w/ Guru – The Perceptionists LP was pretty solid and I don't know if this was the best track on the LP, but it's a good one and Guru is on it, so you can't go too wrong.
38) Remember the Name – Fort Minor w/ Ryu and Tak – You have to admit this track is catchy and perfect for all those basketball or baseball ads it was featured in.
37) All in Together – GZA and Muggs – My favorite song from the collaboration from the Wu-Tang and Cypress Hill members. This is an LP that I think I need to back to.
36) Employees of the Year – Felt 2 (Slug and Murs) – A nice song from the second Felt LP. You have to like a song where the first verse starts with an interpolation of one of EPMD's greatest songs, So Wat' Cha Sayin'.
35) The Mask – Dangerdoom w/ Ghostface Killah – Hopefully, that DOOM/Ghostface album will come out eventually. It's an interesting pairing of MC's and this song gives a little taste of what may come out.
34) Let It Out – Ugly Duckling – Another fun song from UD. Play this one at a party and people will start head nodding from the horn laced beat.
33) Supa Dynamite – Asamov w/ Mr. Lif – This could be higher on the list, but it sits here for now. A real great song from Asamov's album.
32) Smart Went Crazy – Atmosphere – Atmosphere had some uncharacteristically hard tracks on YCIHMFWH and this is one of them. The beat is a little rugged and Slug, being the versatile MC that he is, kicks a bit of a harder flow than usual.
31) World of Vibrations – Blackalicious – This song kicks off The Craft and is a catcht little diddy, if I can come off sounding like a jackass.
30) Old School – Dangerdoom w/ Talib Kweli – Talib kicks a verse about watching Saturday morning cartoons and being old school and DOOM kicks a verse about his childhood. The beat from Dangermouse creates a great horn induced funky track for them to spit over.
29) Befriend the Friendless Friendster – Busdriver – A speedy beat that has Busdriver kicking his usual unique and speedy flow. "Because you're an undersexed lady cop." is one of my favorite lines.
28) Side to Side – Blackalicious w/ Pigeon John and Lateef – Gift of Gab, Lateef and Pigeon John all go to a club and kicks rhymes about their different experiences at said club.
27) Poems 4 Post Modern Decay – Zion I w/ Aesop Rock – I just think Aesop Rock is the rap equivalent of what they call a change of pace back in the NFL (him and Ab Rude). When you add him to a song, he adds a little something different to the other MC(s) on the track.
26) Make Music – Emanon – One of the 3-4 real good songs from The Waiting Room. The beat is real nice and features some vocalization as part of the beat, which I always dig.
25) Birdz – Fly the Coup - Buckshot & 9th Wonder w/ Phonte – A real nice song from the Buckshot/9th Wonder LP.
24) Count Your Blessings – Emanon – Another crazy vocalized beat and Aloe Blacc does his thing, like he always does.
23) Sleepwalking – One.Be.Lo w/ Ka Di – A great song from a great LP. The singer on this track actually adds a lot to the song.
22) Lefty's Lament – Busdriver – Busdriver kicks some lyrics about race and perception over a dope, mellow beat.
21) Lo-Fi Funk – Blueprint w/ Aesop Rock – A crazy beat with Aesop Rock handling the duties of the chorus. Blueprint does his thing.
20) Hourglass – Cunninlynguists – Again, I have never studied music, so I'm not sure, but I think the beat might feature an organ. Whether it does of not, it's a dope beat and a real nice song.
19) Help Me Sing – Asamov – Just a great beat and a great song. A bit of a song about the fans.
18) Can't Hold On – MED – A great back in the day song with a great Madlib beat. MED raps about his younger days and Kool Ade stains on his shirt. Dope track. A live version:
17) Writer's Block – Fatlip – Fatlip talking about writer's block, which might explain why it took so long for his solo debut to be released.
16) Pseudo – Emanon – When I first heard this I went nuts, and I thought they sampled the score from The Frighteners. Turns out it just kind of sounds like something from that score. Anyway, it's a real nice track with a great beat. The LP had a few real good songs, but the mediocre songs out number the great ones, like Pseudo.
15) Aaw Yeah – J-Live – J-Live being his normal dope self. He just cranks out quality hip-hop on a regular basis with tight beats and lyrics.
14) What U Hear – Zion I w/ Del the Funkee Homosapien – The way the beat switches up when Del kicks hie 2nd verse is just crazy.
13) Porcelain – Tonedeff – A great introspective song from Tonedeff.
12) Brooklyn Public, Pt. 1 – J-Live – J-Live speaking from his experience as a teacher about fictional students in an under-funded inner-city public school.
11) The UNDERground – One.Be.Lo – This song starts off s.o.n.o.g.r.a.m. on a strong note.
10) The Arrival – Atmosphere – This song just comes hard and I love the line " I'm just a man that loved rap!" It was anice track to be featured on Fight Night 3 (I think it was 3).
9) Feel Good Inc. – Gorillaz w/ Dave (De La Soul) aka Trugoy – Again, I love the Gorillaz and this is one of the hip-hop infused tracks from their second LP. A great song.
8) Where's Your Girlfriend At? – Blueprint – It's 10pm, do you know where your girlfriend is at? Blueprint probably does. A throwback song with a sense of humor involving Blueprint entertaining your lady. You have to love an MC that can be both self-deprecating and cocky at the same time. "As long as 2 five's still add up to ten, then I got options every Friday night., and a team of mediocre broads grabbing my tip."
7) Git Loose – Asamov w/ Akrobatik – An old-school throwback track featuring Akrobatik. Another well produced Asamov song, Beatrice!
6) Children – Tonedeff – A song about how things can change from a young person to an adult. I dig the singer that is also featured on the song. "One day you'll look back at your life and wonder, like, what the fuck was I thinking?" That sums it up.
5) Making Planets – Edan w/ Mr. Lif – Edan starts the song nice and slow and he kicks his verse, but the song slows down even more and you can just sense that something dope is coming right before Lif comes in. I've found myself telling people to just wait… wait… wait, then the beat switches up and Lif kicks his verse. It's a real dope song.
4) Give It Up – R.A. the Rugged Man and J-Live (from Wu-Tang Meets the Indie Culture) – I love the pairing of R.A. and J-Live. The beat is solid and you have 2 top-notch MC's at the top of their game.
3) Play Hard – Masta Ace (from Sloppy Seconds 2) – Ace and some fellas hit the club and Ace speaks on it over a catchy beat featuring a lot of "oh's".
2) Get Fly – Atmosphere – The beat is phenomenal and is piano heavy with a choir feel. It's a pure head nod song.
1) Hellfire – Cunninlynguists – I looked this up when the song came out, and the song sampled is from someone called Aurthur Brown. To me, it sounded like a song from The Doors, and that's what others have said as well. Anyway, I remember hearing this song before the LP came out and it got me pumped. The beat is chopped nicely and it's just a straight forward dope rap song.

Bonus track: About 6 minutes into Liberated (track 13) of Blueprint's 1988 is a bonus track (although it's hidden within a song, there's about 1 minute of nothing and a new song kicks in). The beat is ill and if you haven't heard it, check it out.
