I had never been to the Shepherds Bush Empire before and it's pretty easy to get to. We grabbed a bus that dropped us just round the corner and the tube is just over the road too.
The venue has plenty of room outside for people to wait for their show and luckily they decided to open early as the weather was so cold. As soon as you get in there is a bar for drinks or snacks and there was plenty of staff directing everyone to their seats.
The seats themselves are a little tired and need reupholstering. We sat in the stalls and had a great view of the stage.
Since we saw a comedy act I can't really say how good the sound is or the lighting as only a spotlight was used.
But I think I wouldn't mind going to another event held here.

wikiHow to Raise Nigerian Dwarf Goats
Nigerian Dwarf Goats are miniature, sweet and easy to keep. Let's go over the basics.
1Food is important. A good recommendation is to feed the goats Eastern Grass Hay, or Alfalfa mix. Note: If you have wethers and Bucks, that are older, do NOT feed Alfalfa, as it can cause Urinary Calculi. You can also feed kids (0 days-12 month old goats) COB (Corn Oats and Barley) and some Calf Manna. A good place to start is to feed the babies a mix of 2 cup COB and 2 cup Calf Manna, and give them each get a cup of the mix. These are just example measurements, so do research!
2Have fresh hay as a free choice. You can also have a salt-lick block as free choice. Above all, you need fresh, cold and clean water!
3Think about a shelter for cold, winter nights even if it's summer. You must clean or "Muck" out where they stay at least every day. Shelters that can be enclosed so that nothing but air and light can get through is ideal. Small babies are easy targets for coyotes. Make sure it's warm, dry and comfy so when the weather gets harsh, you are ready.
4Log on to http://caprinesupply.com and look up basic health care products. If anything goes wrong, you'll have the supplies.
5Make sure to have enough feed, water and space for as many goats as you are keeping. Only so many acres can support a goat. You don't need spacious acres with lush green pasture and browse running miles long, you just need a pasture, a shelter, nutritional supplies, health supplies and lots of love and compassion for your little bundle(s) of joy.
Community Q&A
What can I do if my goat is eating too much?wikiHow ContributorIf all your goats are eating too much, lower the amount of feed. If it's one goat that's pushing everyone away to eat all the food, separate that goat. If you have an extra stall, take that goat into that stall with the proper ration for one goat during feeding times. Let them out only when all the other goats are finished eating.
Do multiple goats live well together?wikiHow ContributorYes, as long as they get along. Goats are supposed to be with other goats, however, so it is better to have a few goats rather than a single goat. A single goat may get depressed and stop eating.
How long are Nigerian goats pregnant for?wikiHow ContributorThe does are pregnant for approximately 150 days, or 5 months.
What is the best age to wean the kids?wikiHow ContributorWe wean our kids at 8 to 9 weeks. They can be weaned at 6 weeks, but it is better to go a couple more weeks. We cut to one bottle a day at 6 weeks, and then at 8 start cutting back the amount. By 9 weeks, they are cut off. We vary a little depending on the other kids born near the same time. That is, if one goat has kids 5 days after the first, we will feed them together and wean at the same time.
How quickly does the hair grow on goats?wikiHow ContributorIt doesn't grow too quickly. If you shave a goat at the beginning of summer, their hair should be back in fully before winter.
I have just purchased two 12 week old Nigerian Dwarf does. My vet says they are too old to debud. I plan on eventually keeping them with my miniature horses. Could this be a problem?wikiHow ContributorIt they butt each other they could cause damage but since nature intended them to have horns, then they'll manage it. Keep an eye on their interactions with the horses. If they are harassing the horses in any way, separate them. Otherwise, the horses have the ability to kick, so they're evenly matched and will probably sort out their own space wisely.
How much of an area is required to raise Nigerian dwarf goats?wikiHow ContributorNot a lot, but as with all animals, more is nice. When we started ours, we had a 5ft X 6ft shed for housing for three does. Then they had an 8ft X 16ft pen. This proved to be more than enough, since we let them out into the back yard once or twice a week.
How old should a baby goat be for me to adopt him?wikiHow ContributorIt depends. If you want to bottle raise it, about 4 weeks is when babies can be transferred onto bottles. If you do not want to do the fuss with bottle babies, at about nine or ten weeks old you can adopt. You can also ask the person you are buying from how old they recommend.
How do I wean a two-month-old dwarf goat from the bottle?wikiHow ContributorFor my kids, I went cold turkey on their milk. I just stopped feeding them on the bottle, instead I would sit out there with them and show them the feed. They got a bit thin as a result, but they remained a healthy weight and regained it quickly.
Can a baby goat drink cow's milk?wikiHow ContributorYes, but you should do the same as a goat mother would do: give the baby goat more milk per day at the start, but give a little less later on. However, do not give it powdered milk, replacers/formula! Milk replacers can kill baby goats (unless formulated specially for goats). Give it natural milk or organic milk. And do not give it to much because it is harmful for their digestive system.

- Be patient. Don't rush things. You should have lots of time for this.
- If you get experienced enough, and have enough does, you can start a small dairy.
- Keep your goat safe in a fenced area, you wouldn't let your dog roam around your property loose? You wouldn't let you dog eat something bad. Treat your goat like a human. Goats are special, so don't abuse or neglect them.
- Goats have a code they live by which is respect, if you respect them they respect you so be kind to your goat friends.
- Read on what plants are inedible and edible. Almost all goats die from digesting Yew. Yew is dangerous and highly deadly. If you have Yew, and you have goats, goats are more important than Yew!
- Goats do not eat cans, or anything you wouldn't feed your dog, you or any other animal. Goats do not eat garbage, or anything that is not food.
- Goats do not eat meat. Goats are herbivores, do not feed a goat meat of any kind.
- Do NOT keep a dog with your goat without supervision(unless trained as a herd dog)
- Goats are social animals and will not be happy without another goat
- If you are a single person that is "married to your job", do NOT get goats. Goats are not lawnmowers and require a few hours of care at the least, per day.
- Goats that have bloat need to be treated. Please visit http://fiascofarm.com for more information.
Things You'll Need
- A good sturdy fence
- Things to keep your goats entertained(stumps,large rocks,giant spools)
- Minerals or salt lick are super important.

RANKINGS: Class of 2014 - 2015 - 2016
The first of July's three evaluation periods kicks off this Wednesday, and Rivals.com will have national coverage from the Reebok Breakout Classic, LeBron James Skills Academy, Adidas Unrivaled, Best of the South and Elite 32. For this week's Starting Five, we have identified five players from the class of 2015 -- one at each position -- whom we will be watching extra closely.
Point guard
Article Continues Below
Bryant Crawford, 6-foot-2 PG, Washington (D.C.) Gonzaga, No. 77: The floor general from the District was identified early in his career as a high-level point guard prospect. For much of the last year, he has battled some injury issues and been in a bit of a slump with his jump shooting and decision making.
His once through-the-roof stock has slid a bit, but after taking some time to reflect on his game and his ranking, we are convinced that the player everybody thought Crawford would be is still there. Crawford probably hasn't gotten enough credit for the shape he has gotten himself into and his improved athleticism. At Rivals.com, we have a sneaking suspicion that Crawford is going to have a huge July and move back up the list of top point guards in the class of 2015.
Shooting guard
Antonio Blakeney, 6-foot-4, Orlando (Fla.) Oak Ridge, No. 16: An explosive scorer, Blakeney followed up a big junior season with a monster spring. He gets buckets in every setting and plays with supreme confidence. He would be the first to tell us that he is under-ranked even though he has been steadily moving up the charts.
During July, we are all going to find out just how good he is. The chip on Blakeney's shoulder has been turning into a boulder, and he is going to be going at all the other top shooting guards this July. The tools to be a top-10 player in the class are all there, and his shot selection and decision making will play a large part in whether or not he can make another climb. Given how steadily his stock has been climbing, it will not be a surprise if he makes another jump.
Small forward
Mickey Mitchell, 6-foot-7, Plano (Texas) West, No. 67: Like Crawford, Mitchell has battled injury issues over the last year. Also like Crawford, Mitchell seems to have gotten himself back into prime shape and has seen a return of his athleticism.
Now it is time to see what the future Ohio State Buckeye is really made of. He is a mixtape favorite because of his flashy passing and ball handling, but his overall toughness and competitiveness have been questioned. No player wants to have their toughness questioned, and a fired up and physical Mitchell could be a very dangerous player given his playmaking ability.
Power forward
Steve Enoch, 6-foot-9, Norwalk (Conn.) High, No. 54: At June's Pangos All-American Camp, Enoch pretty much came out of nowhere to put himself in the national spotlight. Unfortunately, an injury at the NBPA Top 100 Camp cost him the chance to back up what he showed at Pangos.
High-major scholarship offers have rolled in like crazy for Enoch, but for the most part coaches have barely been able to watch him. He is big, he is physical and he has legitimate three-point touch on his jumper. At least, that is what we think based on the one weekend we were able to watch. If Enoch is able to play at the same level he did at Pangos Camp during the month of July, his recruitment could go nuclear.
Skal Labissiere, 6-foot-11, Cordova (Tenn.) Evangelical Christian School, No. 14: When we saw Labissiere in mid-April with the Arkansas Wings, we loved what we saw. The skilled center had added strength, was playing with aggression and motored up and down the floor like a much smaller player. At the NBPA Top 100 Camp, though, his performance -- most notably, his activity as a rebounder -- left a bit to be desired.
Given his skill, touch and overall agility, the only person who can hold Labissiere back from being a top-10 prospect is Labissiere himself. He still needs to add strength, but there is no reason for him to not be a game-changing shot blocker and rebounder each time he takes the floor. We would love to see him unlock his inner beast and play with some edge to his game.

Unique hand built cob cottage next to lg. pond w water feature. Lg. fenced and gated yard. Gentle, curving space-made from sand, straw, water and earth . Featured in multiple international publications. The floor is also earthen clay with added radiant heat. Beautiful natural light. It's truly a magical place.
El alojamiento
It's a curvilinear earthen structure hand sculpted from water, sand, straw, and clay earth. It features a radial roof with a central pagoda-like skylight. When building the Cob, we used reclaimed and natural materials when ever possible. The insulation in the ceiling is made from pulverized reclaimed blue jeans and the floor is made from the same earthen clay. It has a Dutch door, so you can open the top part for additional ventilation. There are 33 blue bottles sculpted into different parts of the walls to create "blue windows". But if you try to count them you won't find that many. Some ended up getting covered up because, well, there was just a little TOO much blue. It also has air conditioning and a radiant heat floor. The bed is a double and the bathroom and additional kitchenette access are located in the main house outside of the cob cottage. The main house is about 40 steps away. NOTE: Starting October 16th, the Cob Cottage will also include access to a full kitchen + living room area, and the bath will be shared with two additional Airbnb units.
Servicios y zonas comunes
The bathroom is located outside of the cob cottage and inside the main house. It's about 40 steps away from the cottage and up 3 stairs to the back deck . Inside the house is a private sitting room with a big leather couch ,a kitchenette with a small fridge, microwave, and electric tea kettle. Complimentary coffee and tea provided. The bathroom includes a clawfoot tub and shower. NOTE: Starting October 16th, the Cob Cottage will also include access to a full kitchen + living room area, and the bath will be shared with two additional Airbnb units.
Atención a los huéspedes
We're here if you need us, but you have the option of your privacy while you are here if you prefer. You will likely to encounter several cats on the property that want belly rubs and all manner of attention. If you are allergic to cats this may not be the best fit. We don't have complete control of keeping the space absolutely cat free.
Otros aspectos destacables
When you arrive, if you are driving, please park on the street. There usually is plenty out front.
The skylights do not have shades on them so the ability to block out light completely is not an option.
Rice paper screens on the windows can be removed to let in more light but also don't block out the light completely.
Respectful noise levels. Full bath/sitting room/breakfast nook available through back door of main house. No candles. No use of wood stove. Sorry, no pets.

We have lived in our beautiful Old Portland home for nearly 25 years now. As artists, musicians, and coffee shop owners, we've been a part of Portland's transformation into one of the most dynamic and colorful cities in America. Our SE Portland neighborhood was voted one of the most livable in the country a couple years back- I guess if you stick around long enough something interesting is bound to happen… we are fortunate to have a double lot complete with a large koi pond stocked exclusively with goldfish, keeping the raccoons, herons, and our four cats well fed and entertained.

Institute for Defense & Business Receives ESGR Patriot Award
Jul 05, 2010, 09:00 ET from Institute for Defense & Business
CHAPEL HILL, N.C., July 5 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Mark C. Cramer, President of the Institute for Defense and Business (IDB) was presented the Employer Support for the Guard and Reserve (ESGR) Patriot Award in Chapel Hill, NC. The ESGR Patriot Award recognizes private sector employers who are especially supportive and understanding of their employee's service in the National Guard. IDB employee and North Carolina National Guard (NCNG) member, Staff Sergeant Jason M. Barber, nominated Cramer for this award.

(Photo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20100705/DC30571 )
In Barber's nomination of Cramer, the Sergeant wrote: "Right from my initial employment IDB was aware of my status as a Guardsman in the North Carolina Army National Guard (NCNG) and our impending second deployment to Iraq. Mr. Cramer and the IDB team not only made allowances for me as our training commitments increased, they made sure that I was never uncomfortable with taking a little extra time to attend additional training."
In addition to providing personal support, he also noted the IDB provided direct support for his unit, the NCNG's 30th Heavy Brigade Combat Team (HBCT) on a pro bono basis. IDB developed and delivered a day of predeployment economics and governance briefings at Ft. Bragg, NC for brigade leadership just days before the 30th's April 2009 deployment to Baghdad, Iraq. This effort was spearheaded by the IDB's Center for Stabilization and Economic Reconstruction (CSER).
SSgt Barber also presented to the IDB in appreciation of their support of the 30th Heavy Brigade Combat Team (HBCT) during Operation Iraqi Freedom a framed shadow box of the Brigade's Colors which held his own personal medals: the Iraq Campaign Medal (ICM) and the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal (GWOTSM). These medals are awarded to members of the military for their service in defense of the nation at home (the GWOTSM) and in Iraq (the ICM). Barber added: "I thought it was a fitting tribute considering the support IDB gave to me, my family, and the unit before our deployment and how that prepared us for our time in Iraq."
Earlier in the month, IDB's Board of Directors signed a "Resolution of Appreciation" to Jason Barber stating: "…their sincerest gratitude for Staff Sergeant Barber's service as a true 'Citizen Soldier' deploying numerous times in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom as well as for his dedication and commitment to helping U.S. military, civilian government, and private sector actors achieve success in bringing stability and peace to Iraq and Afghanistan."
The Institute for Defense and Business (IDB) is a non-profit research and education institute formed in 1997 by UNC-Chapel Hill and the state of North Carolina. The IDB offers a series of educational programs for the military, government, non-governmental agencies, and private industry, in the areas of logistics, operations, life cycle management, organizational change, and economic stabilization.
Employer Support for the Guard and Reserve (ESGR) is the principal advocate within DoD developing and promoting a culture in which all American employers support and value the military service of their employees. They advocate relevant initiatives, recognize outstanding support, increase awareness of applicable laws, and resolve conflict between employers and service members.

In "Journey 2: The Mysterious Island", the Rock plays a ukulele and sings around a campfire, Vanessa Hudgens spends the entire film in short-shorts and a skimpy tank top, and Michael Caine does his version of an amusing goofy old man. And in-between those three things, the characters trek around a Disney-esque amusement park ala the titular mysterious island, run from giant animals trying to eat them, a volcano that spits out gold ashes, and an impending flood that will surely kill them all. Suffice it to say, "Journey 2" is a kids movie waiting to be turned into a Disney style amusement park, complete with giant bee rides. Now, consider the previous sentences, and you should be able to figure out if this is the kind of movie you might want to spend your hard-earned money on. If you still insist on paying good money to see it, though, don't come to me with yer bitchin'.
Josh Hutcherson, who will probably not be able to play a "high school kid" for very much longer, takes over the "Journey" franchise from Brendan Fraser by reprising his role of Sean from 2008's surprise hit "Journey to the Center of the Earth". But since Sean is technically still a kid, he can't be traipsing around exotic locales by his little lonesome, so Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson joins the franchise as Hank, Sean's stepfather. Ol Hank and Sean don't quite get along, but when Sean's adventuring grandfather (Michael Caine) sends the lad an encrypted message and location to his whereabouts, Hank takes the opportunity to accompany the kid to locate the missing old timer as a way to bond. Along the way, they pick up starving tour entrepreneur Gabato (Luis Guzman) and his fetching daughter Kailani (Vanessa Hudgens).
The group finds the titular mysterious island in short order. That's the good news. The bad news is that they end up trapped on said island. It seems getting on the island was the easy part, it's the getting off part that's gonna take some doing. Sean locates his grandfather, and together, the group sets about escaping the island before it's swallowed back down by the Pacific Ocean. An event, we're told, that takes place every 100 years or so. And gosh darn the luck, that's just a few days away! It's Screenwriting 101 — give the protagonists something to race against. After all, you can't have the group just casually walking around the mysterious island discovering its many wonders, can you? Sure, the first few times they encounter a miniature elephant or flee a giant ant would be fun, but after a while it's going to get pretty derivative.
"Journey 2" will no doubt appeal to bookworms who grew up on reading adventure stories from guys like Jonathan Swift and Jules Verne. Mind you, I'm not saying that the film is a very faithful adaptation of those two men's works, but it falls in the same "grand adventure and discovery" category, where the point of the story is more about getting there and discovering what awaits. "Journey 2" certainly has that part of it down, and as previously mentioned, the film oftentimes feels like an amusement park ride waiting to be realized. It's not as if anyone is ever really in any danger, and you never once think the gang won't escape the doomed island. Fantasy story mainstays like Nemo and Atlantis make appearances, though these aren't explored all that much except as a means of plot progression.
"Journey 2" is a kids adventure movie, and I suspect your nieces and nephews will get the most kick out of it. Star Josh Hutcherson, who can soon be seen battling murderous teenagers in "The Hunger Games", is going to pretty quickly outgrow teenager roles, though curiously his co-star Vanessa Hudgens, who is actually four years older, should be able to convincingly play a teenager for a few more years. There is a perfunctory male bonding aspect of "Journey 2" between Sean and stepdad Hank, but honestly, that's not all that important. Dwayne Johnson is charming and witty, and his back-and-forth with Michael Caine is pretty amusing. Luis Guzman is the film's designated comic relief, and he should keep the kids giggling, and maybe have the adults rolling their eyes once or twice.
Brad Peyton directs "Journey 2" like a man who knows the spectacle is the thing, and all that family bonding stuff is secondary (or possibly third). Peyton's career is not exactly littered with classics ("Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore", anyone?), but he does keep the film moving at a nice pace, throwing a new "Wow" sequence on the screen every 10 minutes or so to keep things from ever becoming dull. The point is, if you're paying money to see this and you don't have kids (or nephews or nieces), characters riding on the backs of giant airborne bees and controlling them like they're some kind of furry airplanes should not strike you as either odd or ludicrous. You should also get a good chuckle out of the Rock thinking he can solve any problems with his manly pecs and Luis Guzman getting drenched in various liquids of questionable origin.

The Subdudes - B.B. King Blues Club & Grill
In 1987, four musicians got together for what they envisioned would be a one-time performance at Tipitina's in New Orleans. It was a night of mostly acoustic music � sparse instrumentation with a strong emphasis on songwriting and vocal harmonies. The show far exceeded expectations, and on that March night the subdudes were born. Nearly 10 years later, after five well-received albums and several years of hard touring, the Subdudes called it quits. Spinoff projects ensued, as did the occasional reunion show. Finally, in February of 2002, three of the four original band members decided to get back together. They recruited additional longtime friends to fill out the sound and called themselves the Dudes, but the music was still unmistakably the subdudes. Today, they are once again the subdudes. And there's still nobody in the world that sounds like them. So, welcome back the subdudes: Tommy Malone, John Magnie, Steve Amede, Tim Cook and Jimmy Messa.
Musical Performance: Alsarah and the Nubatones (Debut) and the Sounds of Taraab - Alwan for the Arts
Inspired by the pentatonic scale and western soul music, and struck by a collective love for Nubian music, Alsarah and the Nubatones revisit Nubian songs of return, as well as popular songs from northern Sudan and southern Egypt, from the 1970s until today. While linguistically there has been a rapid arabization of that region, its retention of its musical culture has been steadfast. ??The Sounds of Taraab endeavor to familiarize audiences with the exciting and profound music amd dance from Africa's Eastern coast. A little over 100 years ago, the Sultan of Zanzibar sent his court musicians abroad to study...They returned, and taraab ws born. This genre, found in the towns of coastal Eastern Africa, is a hybrid of Arabic, Indian, and African styles, with the poignant songs of love and longing sung in the melodious language of Kiswahili. Zanzibar style taraab is basically Egyptian song and modal practice, and the predilection for Arabic instruments. Mombasa style known for its highly syncopated rythmn, with accordion, oud and violin backed up by guitar and modern drum kit. The songs of Dar Es Salaam that may be right out of an Indian movie, and tablas are the popular form of percussion there in that cosmopolitan city. In addition, you may hear varied instruments from anywhere, such as Japanese biwa or Latin American bongos, demonstrating the ecclectic nature of this music.

Full Size Boeing 727 Pilots - Adverse Yaw Question
I'm close to a first flight on a GWS twin EDF-50 powered, 45"WS Boeing 727-100 model. My controls are ailerons and flying stab. I know I'm going to experience adverse yaw! I have made provisions for adding a rudder and if she flys well at 12.5oz, I can add the extra weight of the rudder servo and linkage.
My question is: If you could do an uncoordinated aileron only bank/turn, how bad was the adverse yaw at slow airspeeds? Was it possible to do an uncoordinated turn with ailerons only at all?
These little questions keep me awake at night. Thank you. David
If you rig your ailerons so that you have about twice as much up travel as down, you are highly unlikely to have any adverse yaw at all.
Vintage1: I ain't gona be flying fast!!!
Well my ailerons are larger than scale. ie: more area. Their hinged on the top surface for more up than down. At slow speeds, or any speed, there's no way to rid adverse yaw, in this configuarition, without a rudder. At higher speeds, you can get away with bank and yank. At slow speeds, w/o rudder, you need to keep a modest roll/bank angle, or you'll start to slide down.
Mostly interested in an actual 727 Pilots observations.
While not a 727 pilot, I have flown a number of full scale aircraft (about 20 different types) Certain aircraft are really prone to adverse yaw, particularly the classic Piper Cub and training sailplanes like the 2-22 and 2-33. Other aircraft, with some differential added to the roll controls, do much better and need far less rudder to compensate for the minimal residual adverse yaw.
Comparing the flight charateristics of a full scale 727 and your lightly loaded model is not the most valid thing to do, considering the huge difference in wing loading and Reynolds numbers.
Most modern jetliners rely on spoilers for roll control and have, at most ,a very small aileron in play on the TE of the wing. Note that with spoilers for roll control, there is roll without adverse yaw., since no surface deflects downward
I had a scaled up 132" Klingberg wing with elevons only: no rudder control. A little time spent teaking the aileron differential gave perfect, no adverse yaw nicely coordinated turns.
If you make provisions in your aileron linkage for adding some differential beyond what is accomplished by top hinging, I predict with confidence that you will never miss having a rudder, unless you wish to do stall turns or spins with your 727 model..

Interesting points.
On an actual 727, during a turn with autopilot engaged, there is an "up" elevator input to compensate for loss of lift during the turn, this is referred to as "versine".
The 727 utilizes the outboard ailerons only when the flaps are extended. This is progressive. The further the trailing edge flaps are extended, outboard aileron travel also increases.
The major design reason for not using outboard ailerons during flaps up flight (high speed flight) is due to wing twisting. The outboard aileron deflected during high speed flight would have the tendency to twist the wing; the aileron thus acting as a control tab and potentially causing a control reversal.
This is also why roll spoilers are used. The spoilers, mounted toward the more rigid center wing does not have the effect of twisting the wing.
Inboard ailerons are fulltime though.
Interesting information, FDXmech.
I got interested and found this highly informative page on the internet that describes the 727 flight control system. It goes into some detail about the roll controls and how the spoilers are indeed the primary roll control. I predict that adverse yaw is not a huge issue with this aircraft, due in part to the spoliers for roll control.
Keep in mind adverse yaw, as commonly found in many airplane designs, is a bit different than swept wing "dutch roll" as the initial batch of swept wing jets taught us. Dutch roll is an uncoordinated roll and pitch oscillation that will present itself in straight and level flight. Jets and other high performance straight wing aircraft will often have "yaw dampers" that activate rudder control and work in combination with the autopilot for pitch and yaw dampening.
I believe that in a properly set up 727 model, as long as you have a good CG placement, dutch roll will not be such a concern. If you keep your adverse yaw under control with a slight amount of aileron differential then you have gone far enough. I really don't think you will need a micro gyro - and that's good because that would certainly not be in thew weight budget.
Another interesting bit of Boeing aerodynamic trivia notes:
The original "inboard airlieron" configurations have been abandoned in the new generation narrow body airliners in favor of plain ailerons and continued use of flight spoiler roll control assistance.
Leading edge flaps or Kreuger flaps have been long abandoned for full span, slotted leading edge slats.
The original, complex triple slotted fowler flaps common on the B-727 and B-737 have been phased out in favor of simpler and more efficient double slotted fowler flaps in the new generation 737's.
In some ways the complex aerodynamic flight control setups of the 1960's B-727 and 1st generation B-737 design have been simplified over time in favor of simpler flight control systems, better airfoils and more efficient fairings.
The original "inboard airlieron" configurations have been abandoned in the new generation narrow body airliners in favor of plain ailerons and continued use of flight spoiler roll control assistance.
The 737 only had outboard ailerons and spoilers. A stout wing as compared to the 727 resistant to twisting.
Interestingly, the original A300 incorporated inboard - outboard ailerons + spoilers.
The newer A300-600 retained the inboard ailerons/spoilers but did away with the outboard ailerons.
Though the yaw damper is an autopilot subsystem, it nevertheless is full time whether the A/P is on or off (unless of course it's turned off).
Besides yaw damping, the yaw damper provides turn coordination.
Found the above fasinating.
FDXmech, again, thank you. And eddie P, thanks. Thomas B, thanks for the link, will have a look.
The point about inboard ailerons is still valid as I was referring to Boeing narrow body airliners. The A-300-600 is still based on a 1970's airframe, though it has several improvements over the original (sort of like the 737 line), it's still a wide body and at times the larger airframes will still need a little help not initiating wing twist with outboard ailerons. So I still stand by that original point

Thought you folks who contributed to this thread might like to know my 12.5 oz. Boeing 727 enjoyed it's flirst flight this evening. very little adverse yaw.

London - West African-focused gold miner Randgold Resources posted a an 83% jump in first-quarter net profit and said it has started mining at its Tongon project in the Ivory Coast.
Net profit surged to $23.9m from $13.1m in the year-earlier period as attributable production climbed 2% to 112663 ounces.
However, profit dropped 38% from the previous quarter on lower production from its flagship Loulo mine in Mali and plant breakdowns at the Morilla mine.
"The most critical challenge we face over the next three quarters is delivering on our production and profit forecasts under very demanding conditions," said chief executive Mark Bristow.
"Looking further ahead, we remain confident about achieving our goal of producing 1.2 million ounces in 2014."
Total cash costs also jumped to $617 an ounce from $461 in the year-earlier quarter.
The company said that since May 3 Loulo has experienced power supply interruptions which have impacted operations throughout the mine and that the consequences are being assessed.
In March, Randgold announced a 75% increase in reserve estimates boosted by the acquisition of Kibali and discoveries at its Gounkoto and Massawa projects.

Question: How can I keep my lipstick lasting for longer without having to re-apply?
A. Lipsticks are a great way to instantly upgrade any make-up look. There are many different types of lipsticks on the market from full on matte to super moisturising. However, a lot of them do not last. I go by a certain rule that if a lipstick does not last through dinner and drinks then it needs a little extra 'oomph' to last that extra mile.
There are a few sure-fire ways to make your lipstick last and your pout prolong its perfection.
Loading article content
To start, ensure your lips are super soft. To achieve this, a gentle lip exfoliator or moisturising balm will do the job and will help create a perfect base for your lipstick. Your lipstick will not last if you have flaky lips and it will simply lose its colour in a few hours.
Next, lip liner is a must to keep your lipstick intact. Begin by outlining your lips, utilising subtle strokes, with a lip liner that is the same colour as your chosen lipstick. By doing this, your lip liner will stop your lipstick from bleeding or fading away. In addition to this, fill in all of your lips with the lip liner. This will create a great layer for your lipstick to bond with.
I recommend investing in a good quality lip brush. It will make it easier when creating precise application compared to using the lipstick straight from the bullet. With your lip brush in hand, load it up with your chosen lipstick and then gently work the lipstick into your lips. The next step is crucial and the most important; blot your lips and work in another layer. Blotting your lips and applying many layers is vital to long lasting lips, the more layers the better!
To add a finishing touch and an expert effect to your resilient lips - place a tissue over your mouth and with a powder puff gently press translucent powder on top of the tissue. By doing this you are creating a thin protective film on top of your lipstick which will guarantee longevity.
My top picks for long lasting lips are:
Bobbi Brown Retractable Lip Brush (£21.00)
Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet Lipstick (£25.00)
Estee Lauder Double Wear Lip Liner (£16.00)

Is Iran Already Plotting Its Escape From the Agreement?
A close reading of the P5+1 deal shows that Iran could easily defect whenever it wants.
A close reading of the P5+1 deal shows that Iran could easily defect whenever it wants.
Despite Susan Rice's trip to Israel, Israel is watching from the sidelines during the next round of talks, hoping that the Americans won't concede too much too soon to the Iranians.
A new round of negotiations begins tomorrow, but will the Obama administration cut through Iran's deliberate ambiguity on the military use of its nuclear program?
The nuclear deal's final conditions are what really matters - but with companies lining up to do business with Teheran and little Western appetite for confrontation, Iran's the only side gaining leverage.
Why is the White House lashing out at Congress, but barely responding to Iran's nuclear moves and the regime's bad-mouthing of Israel and the U.S. itself?
The brakes have been put on Iran's nuclear program, but the war of interpretations has only just started.
Iran is desperate for relief from sanctions, a fact that gives P5+1 the upper hand.
Iran's most effect bargaining tactic is to reframe the issues and repeat its own messages over and over again, until they begin to sound like common knowledge.
A final deal - good for Israel and good for the world - would have to cover all of Iran's key nuclear capabilities.
The case of Syria shows that only the U.S .'s credible threat of military force, coupled with diplomacy, will force determined WMD proliferators like Iran to back down and reverse course.

Irish poet Michael Coady will receive the eighth annual Lawrence O'Shaughnessy Award for Poetry of the University of St. Thomas Center for Irish Studies.
Coady will read from his work at 7:30 p.m. Friday, April 2, in the auditorium (Room 126) of John R. Roach Center for the Liberal Arts on St. Thomas' St. Paul campus. The reading, free and open to the public, will cap a week of events, classroom visits and public appearances by the poet.
Coady also will participate in a public conversation with University of Minnesota Regents Professor of Creative Writing Patricia Hampl on "Writing, Place and Memory." The event begins at 7 p.m. Monday, March 29, in the auditorium of the Highland Park Branch Library, 1974 Ford Parkway, St. Paul.
Both events are co-sponsored by the Friends of the St. Paul Public Library.
Coady also will be the featured speaker at the St. Thomas Alumni Association's First Friday Luncheon from noon to 1:15 p.m. Friday, April 2, at The Depot, 225 Third Ave. S., Minneapolis. His presentation is titled "Ireland and America: Bridges of Memory." Cost is $20 per person; reservations are due Monday, March 29. For information and reservations, call (651) 962-6430 or make reservations online at the alumni association's Web site, http://www.stthomas.edu/alumni
The $5,000 O'Shaughnessy Award for Poetry, established in 1997, honors Irish poets. The award is named for Lawrence O'Shaughnessy, who taught English at St. Thomas from 1948 to 1950, served on the university's board of trustees and heads the St. Paul-based I.A. O'Shaughnessy Foundation.
Coady was born in 1939 in Carrick-on-Suir, County Tipperary, where he has lived his entire life. There he has worked as a schoolteacher and on his poetry collections: Two For a Woman, Three for a Man (1980); Oven Lane (1987); All Souls (1997); and a new book, One Another, released in December 2003. All of his poetry collections have been published by Gallery Press of Oldcastle, County Meath. A collection of his journalism and other short writings, Full Tide, was published by Relay Press in 1998. A past winner of the Patrick Kavanagh Award for first books, of Arts Council of Ireland grants, and of prizes at the Listowel Writers Week, Coady was elected to Aosdána, the Irish Academy of Arts and Letters, in 1998.
Coady's recent work has experimented with blending poetry and fiction, memoir and photography, a project he began with his 1997 work, All Souls, which tells the story of how his grandfather abandoned the family in Ireland and vanished into the Philadelphia slums 150 years ago. One of the crucial chapters of that story is told in a poem, "The Letter," that has been performed by Liam Clancy of the Clancy Brothers folk group.
Previous winners of the O'Shaughnessy Eavan Boland, John Deane, Peter Sirr, Louis de Paor, Moya Cannon, Frank Ormsby and Thomas McCarthy.
The University of St. Thomas is Minnesota's largest private university, enrolling more than 11,000 students at campuses in St. Paul, Minneapolis and Owatonna, Minn., and Rome, Italy.
