David....no.....and water/ammonia 50/50
U2...If you dont mind, please move all dicussion to the main thread. The object lesson is to keep this thread short so "Tips" are easy to find
There are actually 2 philosiphies for plane design and building......
The first is K-I-S-S.....Yall already know that one.
The second is S-A-A-L......(S)implify (A)nd (A)dd (L)ightness
Soooooo....popping a few lightening holes here and there is a good thing
Im going to make a pretty radical request here. Everyone has their own post by the time thes thread reaches page 3.
Soooo......any tips or tricks you have to offer, please go back to your own (original) post area and edit them in. After that its ok to post a new post that says somethin like "tips added" and that way everyone gets a headup in thier email but the thread stays small.
Now for the crazy request. Will everyone please go to thier recent posts and erase them and just leave a few dots like this "...." and in this manner we can actually pare this thread back down to 3 pages.
If there is a mention of something that you want to KEEP on here then copy and paste it to your page 3 or before post.
I know this is a bit of a pain but the point of this thread was a compact area to glean all the TwisT tricks and Tips from so we dont want to let it get large.
Thanks all

Prop Load Factors,Servo convert from Metric to Oz/In,convert deflections,ST, CA Hinge
These spreadsheets help select props and convert the servo data from metric to oz/in. There is a table to convert deflection angles and a table for mixing fuels.
OK - some explanation stuff -
Prop Load factors: I got the formula from a book by Gerry Yarrish, "Getting Started in Radio Control Airplanes". Chapter 13 has about 12 pages on props. I just entered the formula into a spreadsheet so I could have reference values. The unit of measure is just PLF, Prop Load Factor.
The formula is PLF = D^2 * P where D is diameter and P is pitch.
Example: The manufacturer recommended prop is 13x6. This has a PLF of 1014. You try it and the engine is running great. and turning 11,000 rpm. Now you decide you want a little more speed. So you need to increase the pitch. You look at the table and 12 x7 plf is 1008, 11x9 is 1089, and 11x8 is 968. All three of these props should give you about the same load on the engine but they will give you different performance.
This at least gives you a good starting point for selecting a prop.
One of the things I found was my Saito 1.25 was the Horizon page says the prop range is 15x7 to 17x6. The problem with this is that there are props in this range which under prop the engine and cause it to over rev.
The manual gives:
15x6 to 15x8 1350 to 1800 Sport
16x6 to 16x8 1535 to 2048 Scale
17x6 1734 Aerobatic
Ok the engine likes 1800 to 2048 loads. I was using a 16x4 on it which is 1024. This was over revving my engine at WOT. It was in the "range" of 15x7 to 17x6 but this does not work. I could have continued to run the 16x4 but would need to manage the throttle or reduce the end point to keep the RPMs down.
Since then, I look at the manufactuer recommendations for more specific prop ranges. Once you know the PLF range, you can play with props within that range without getting into a lot of trouble.
The servo stuff is just converting Kg to Oz. I am not good at metric measures.
You can quickly go from Kg to Oz by multiplying the Kg value by 13.89.
There you go.

Tuning Super Tigres
My ST is running the stock muffler. On the test stand, it would run with the pressure tube off. I was really surprised since there is all the emphasis on pressure. If you run a Pitts you just close off one of the pipes. I also did not see a big deal with tank position on my test stand. I moved it around a bit while trying to tune the carb.
I have the ST mainly to save some cost and on his recommendation. I was not able to get it to run right until I followed these steps after burning about 3 tanks at about 3,000 RPM:
1. Start the engine and set if for high RPM minus about 300rpm.
2. Put a piece of fuel tubing on the carb and the carb just closed, close off the low idle screw while blowing in the tube until no air was escaping.
3. Restart the engine and it should run pretty well.
4. Adjust the high speed needle again.
5. Now adjust the low speed again. ONLY TURN THE LOW SPEED NEEDLE HALF THE WIDTH OF THE SCREWDRIVER AT A TIME!!! This needle setting is extremely sensitive.
6. Continue adjusting the high speed and the low speed until you get it they way you want it.
7. If you continue to have problems with the mid-range, you can try rotating the spray bar. There is a small screw that holds the spray bar in place. It should face straight down the carb barrel if you look in from the bottom. I did rotate mine but ended up putting back to center.
After I discovered this technique, it tuned up pretty quickly. I was ready to send it in to service! And the low speed sensitivity is a big key. You can't just give it a spin like you can an OS engine. Also, if you change the high speed setting, expect to need to adjust the low speed. This is the same information I received from other ST owners.

Battery Help
Need help on batteries?
Check out this website: http://batteryuniversity.com/index.htm
================================================== ===============
Rule of thumb, get OS plugs.
Type F for ANY 4 stk
#6 (A3) for .10 to .60 -- standard plug for the OS 46AX
#7 a little hotter than the #8, I plan to try these
#8 works for nearly anything, I use this on all my 2stk engines except the 46s.
#10 (A5) plug for .60 and up, classified as cold. I plan to try these.
Glow starters -- battery powered
They have NiCd or NiMH batteries in them. They come with 10 hour wall wart chargers. Some have removeable batteries. These are best since you can replace the batter a little cheaper than buying a new one (most of the time). You can usually find them cheap at the swapmeets but don't expect the batteries to be any good. If it is a NiCd, put them on a cycler for 3 or four charges, they may come up to full capacity.
I carry two to the field to be sure.
Some have meters. This is good because they are an indication the glow plug is working - not foolproog though. It is based on current in the plug. If the plug has all the platinum burned off, it still won't work.
Some have a long reach which is nice for some cowl mounted engines.
Two basic types, one you pull a sleeve back and the other is a press and twist. I have had the first one fail after about a year of use. It can't hold the plug any more. I have never had a press and twist fail but it is sometimes a bit testy getting it on the plug.
There are also plug ignitors with a cord to connect to a field box and power panels that allow you to adjust the current flow. I don't use the corded ones. I am afraid they will get tangled in the prop. I don't care for the current adjust models. Just apply 1.2V and go.
================================================== =================================
Multiblade Props
Here is Zinger's take on it and a nice table:
Here is Master Airscrew:
To convert from 2 blades to 3 blades you want to decrease the
total blade area and increase the angle of attack (or pitch) to
overcome the increased drag of the third blade.
The general rule is to DECREASE propeller diameter by 1-2",
and INCREASE by 1-2" the propeller pitch. It is all right to keep
the same pitch when going from 2 blades to 3.

Regulators - Warning Technobabble
All switching regulators generate noise, they have to by design. The issue is does the noise get out. This requires shielding and filtering. High-end (usually means expensive) may do a better job than a super cheapie. The efficiency of a switching regulator is usually reasonably high. This just means more of the power in goes to the power out, but not all of it. Everything uses something so nothing is FREE.
Linear regulators have to waste voltage to get to the regulated voltage. The more current you pull in the regulator the more power must be wasted (P=IxE). The power is dissipated through a heatsink. The more power, the more dissipation, the bigger theheat sink. Look at an older power supply and you will see one or more transformers mounted on a big heatsink. These are the pass transistors at the output.
Nearly all modern receivers and servos will run on 4 to 6V. That is why you can use a 4cell or 5cell Nicad/NIMH or 2cell A123 battery pack. This means you only need a battery pack and a switch - simple.
Components can fail. In our sport, our equipment is exposed to a lot of vibration. This makes the chances of failure on a wire connection or circuit board component greater.
We are seeing the newest receivers and servos comeout that can accept 7.2V. This opens the door to Lipos without regulators.
A lot of this is personal preference when you make the final decision. I look at cost. I can put a Nimh in for $25. Can I put in an equivalent lipo and reg for the same price?
A redundant system has nothing to do with battery choice, you just have to use two of what ever you choose. (Note that you need something that will control current from the two power systems.)
Pick your poison and have fun. I like to keep it simple. I only use Lipo kind of batteries (including A123) when I have to have the high currents that only they can provide, I.E., electric motors.
One more thing, I would NEVER use a regulator on my ignition. JMHO
================================================== ===================================
Servo Reversing
================================================== ===================================
When you use one servo for the elevator, the elevator halves must be connected together and driven on one side. This is OK when the elevators are relatively small.
When the plane gets larger and you want to do more agressive maneuvers, you need both elevator halves to be equally responsive. The tortion bar that connects the two elevator halves, like on the Twists, would have to be very strong and creates a situation where the non-driven half can lag behing the driven half as the tortion bar twists. The distance from the driving servo also amplifies the load.
You can't just use a Y connector like you do on the ailerons. On the ailerons the servos move in the same direction. This is what you want since you want one side to go up when the other goes down. Elevators must both go up or down at the same time.
The Flaperon settings on radios allow the transmitter to reverse one servo to make the ailerons both go the same direction, up and down, so you can simulate flaps or add reflex. The 9C and other transmitters have a function similar to flaperons to allow you to have two servos on the elevator and reverses one of them. Futaba calls this Ailevator.
If you don't have the feature in your transmitter, you can use an electronic device that goes in-line with one of the servos, usually the left one, to reverse the signal. You use a Y connector on the two servos and put the reverser between the Y and the servo you want to reverse.
This also means that you can use lower torque, less expensive servos on the elevator halfs.
There are some ways you can do to avoid this without reversing one servo but the ARF makers assume you will reverse one of the servos when they design the planes. Example: On the ailerons on your wing, assume that both servo arms point to the wing tip. If you just reverse the servo arm on one side so it is pointing to the fuse. The arm is now pulling when it was pushing before you changed it. Now the ailerons will both go in the same direction.
The two servo elevators mount the servo in the tail. One technique is to have room to mount the servos so one arm goes up and the other goes down. You have to get all the symetry correct of course. Apparently, conventional wisdom is just reverse one side.
With two elevator servos, you can also program some kewl stuff like making the elevators work as ailerons. This can give you some additional roll when both the ailerons and the elevators can roll the plane!

New to Twist
Hi guys, I'm new to the Twist world after the recent purchase of my Twist 60. I was told this was the place to go for advice on set up. After reading some of the blogs I can see I am thinking 2D and not 3D which is what I want. I am thinking of HS-5625MG digital servos all around. Will the 133 oz. of torque be enough for elevator and rudder for 3D or heavier loads at high speed? I was also thinking O.S. 75AX ABL. But after reading "Dad Roman" comments and the recommendations for an O.S. 91FX, I might have to rethink this. Has anyone ran their Twist 60 with the O.S. 91FX? I want 3D but it doesn't have to be out of control. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys, JC

Scaled Plans Section
Per Nomatta, here are a couple scaled Tweplica plans. Please let me know if you want a specific wing span.
"Disclaimer" The "CC" rating is JUST a educated guestimation from a guy who like big planes, does not owned one yet, or work in the Aero industry as a design engineer. Please do you homework with the data listed with each plan, make your own choices on motor selections and sizes.
"Disclaimer 2" Waldo's Tweplica parts list will NOT work for these plans, sizes, amounts, and thicknesses must be worked of the plans as they are scaled up. Adjustments must be made to compensate for scaling. From Looking at the wood sizes, <of stock> the 50CC has standard size materials.
"Disclaimer 3" If you want technical support for the plans, got to www.hanger9.com and purchase a new ARF. <not a real website>

An elite search-and-rescue team from the city's police and fire departments will be helping with the earthquake disaster relief mission in Haiti, Mayor Bloomberg announced today.
"President Obama asked for our assistance and we are answering his call to respond to the unimaginably tragic events in Haiti by sending the best — our specially trained joint task force of New York City police officers and firefighters," Bloomberg said.
New York Task Force One — a unit made up of 80 members — is managed by the city's Office of Emergency Management and trained to respond to catastrophes involving the collapse of heavy steel and concrete.
The team is expected to arrive in Haiti tonight, two days after a 7.0-magnitude quake rocked the capital Port-au-Prince that left up to 50,000 dead in its wake.
Bloomberg said the team trained at an earthquake drill two months ago in upstate New York and is well-equipped to help the people of Haiti.
"The world came to our aid on 9/11 and we want to provide assistance around the globe when needed, whether it's giving supplies, sharing lessons learned, or sending our first responders to help people," said Bloomberg.
"Our team should be on the ground in Haiti later today and I want to say to all of them, on behalf of all New Yorkers – be safe and thank you for lending a hand to people in dire need."
Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said the unit has the "desire and expertise to serve at the highest level possible."
"All of us in the FDNY are shocked and saddened by the devastation in Haiti," added FDNY Commissioner Sal Cassano. "We're grateful, however, that many of our members are specially trained to help people under the very worst circumstances and that we're bringing that help to them today. Just as the world stood beside all of us after the tragic Sept. 11 attacks, we know it's our duty to help others crippled by disaster, whether it's a hurricane along the Gulf Coast or an earthquake in Haiti."
Bloomberg said Task Force One will bring approximately 20 tons of equipment with them before deploying from Stewart Air Force Base in upstate Newburgh.
Meanwhile, Obama said today that "one of the largest relief efforts in our recent history" is moving toward Haiti as he continued to mobilize the US response to the island's devastating earthquake.
Obama said the US government is initially directing $100 million toward the relief effort — a figure he said would certainly grow over the next few months.
"This is one of those moments that calls out for American leadership," he said.
An Obama administration official said Obama has reached out to Clinton and George W. Bush, and that details of their efforts will be announced in the coming days.
The death of one American citizen from Tuesday's quake was confirmed, with three others known to be missing, said State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley.
The State Department is not releasing the identity of the dead American, pending notification of next of kin.
Crowley said the US embassy has made contact with nearly 1,000 American citizens in Haiti, only a small fraction of the estimated 45,000 Americans in the country.
The first US Army infantry troops — a little more than 100 soldiers from the 82nd Airborne Division — are heading to Haiti, due to leave Fort Bragg in North Carolina later Thursday. The troops will find locations to set up tents and other essentials in preparation for the arrival of another roughly 800 personnel from the division on Friday.
They come on top of some 2,200 Marines, also to be sent, as the military ramps up what Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton called "a full court press" to provide earthquake relief in the form of security, search and rescue, and the delivery of humanitarian supplies.
Obama said more than a half dozen US military ships also are expected to help, with the largest, the aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson, arriving today, and the Navy hospital ship USNS Comfort also deployed.
"We're not taking over Haiti," Crowley said. "We are helping to stabilize Haiti, we're helping to provide them lifesaving support and materiel and we're going to be there over the long term to help Haiti rebuild. But, the key is: we are maintaining constant contact with the Haitian government even given the difficult situation. What we're doing is following the priorities that the Haitian government has outlined for us."
Appearing on morning network news shows after cutting short an overseas trip, Clinton said it's still too early to make a firm estimate of the number of deaths. But she said officials know that approximately 3 million people have been affected and that "tens of thousands, we fear, are dead."
Clinton noted that the small Caribbean country was still recovering from the damage wrought by last year's storms, with help from Washington, the United Nations and other countries.
Obama also implored individual Americans to donate to the relief effort, saying they could get information on how to do so through the White House Website at http://www.whitehouse.gov.
Obama said Americans are being evacuated as quickly as possible. Crowley said 164 Americans have been airlifted out, including 42 non-essential officials and employee family members and 72 private citizens who were taken out on Coast Guard C-130s. Another 50 private citizens left on an Iceland Air flight. There are 360 Americans registered to leave on evacuation flights that will continue today.
"We will not rest until we account for our fellow Americans in harm's way," Obama said.
The president also said he has directed Vice President Joe Biden to travel to South Florida this weekend to meet with members of the Haitian-American community and responders.

MUMS of players at Barton United Football Club went head-to-head for charity in a fancy-dress game on Saturday.
The two sides turned out as cave women and the 118-118 men of TV advert fame.
Debbie Morris, 39, from Headington, captained the 118s and said the day was a great success.
The mum-of-four, pictured right with Leeanne McLelland, left, and Megan Scaysbrook, who also coaches a girls' team at the club, said: "Lots of people turned up and we all had a really fun time playing football.
"Nobody had done any training and I only got pulled in at the last minute, but there was a good community spirit."
Money raised will go to Cancer Research UK and the club, Mrs Morris said.

49ers sign WR Keshawn MartinTuesday, September 27, 2016, 5:12pm
The San Francisco 49ers made an attempt to reinforce their receiving corps by signing free-agent wideout and return man Keshawn Martin to a two-year deal, per a report. The move fills up the vacant roster spot left by the retirement of offensive tackle Anthony Davis.
The San Francisco 49ers need all the help they can get, and they hope wide receiver Keshawn Martin can help provide a spark.
San Francisco signed Martin to a two-year deal on Tuesday, per NFL insider Rand Getlin.
He has 62 receptions for 685 yards and five touchdowns over his four-year NFL career. San Francisco's offense currently ranks 29th in the league with just 876 yards gained. The Niners passing game has also generated a lowly 526 yards, which stands at No. 30 overall. Martin got a lot of attention last year when he was rumored to take over Julian Edelman's spot when he went down last year with a foot injury. Another note is Martin has broken a 70-plus yard kick or punt return in three of his four NFL seasons.
Pats also release WR Keshawn MartinSaturday, September 3, 2016, 2:51pm
The Keshawn Martin release was a surprise. The Pats gave him a contract extension in January with a reported $600,000 in guarantees. Martin hardly practiced in training camp, and he suffered an injury in Thursday's preseason finale against the Giants. He limped through the locker room after the game with his left foot wrapped.
This release could be a signal that rookie receiver Malcolm Mitchell, who suffered an ugly looking injury in the preseason opener, could be ready by Week 1. It's unlikely that the Pats would enter that game with just two healthy wideouts. This also could be a signal that Danny Amendola will not start the year on the PUP, the story concluded.
Pats Beat: Team's WR5 hardest spot to fillTuesday, August 2, 2016, 12:23pm
The hardest spot to fill on the roster? The No. 5 receiver position behind Julian Edelman, Danny Amendola, Chris Hogan and rookie Malcolm Mitchell.
A case can be made for Keshawn Martin (who signed a contract extension in January), Aaron Dobson (who is healthy), Chris Harper or DeAndre Carter. Or even Nate Washington.
The author didn't really say his opinion on who could emerge in that spot, but did say Carter and Harper can be placed on the practice squad while Dobson and Martin cannot. The author did say Carter is in the Edelman/Amendola mold which could provide some insurance since both are currently hurt.
Friday, January 1, 2016, 6:26pm
Patriots WR Julian Edelman (foot, out) missed practice Friday after taking limited reps Thursday and is out for Week 17. With Danny Amendola very iffy, it looks like Brandon LaFell and Keshawn Martin will lead the New England receiving corps again this week.
Pats coaches noticing Keshawn MartinTuesday, December 29, 2015, 9:13pm
With the Patriots receiving corps ailing, one backup has stepped up and seized the opportunity in front of him.
The respective absences of Julian Edelman (foot) and Danny Amendola (knee) have opened the door for Keshawn Martin to get extended first-team reps.
When Brady was under duress in last Sunday's loss to the Jets, he began to get tunnel vision for one wide-out, and it wasn't Brandon LaFell, the receiver he won a Lombardi Trophy with last February.
Brady targeted Martin 11 times (seven catches, 68 yards). He threw to LaFell once.
Martin's name started to emerge soon after Edelman went down. Martin was battling his own injuries so it took a little longer, but Martin seems to be a key part of the offense and earning Brady's trust with all the injuries to the position in New England.
Saturday, December 26, 2015, 3:02pm
It's never easy for a wide receiver to jump in midseason, or late season, and pick up the New England Patriots' offense.
Apparently, the Leonard Hankerson addition didn't go as the team had hoped.
Hankerson, claimed off waivers from Atlanta on Dec. 16, lasted only 10 days in the New England, according to ProFootballTalk.
With Hankerson's impending release, the team will be down to four wide receivers -- Julian Edelman, Danny Amendola, Brandon LaFell and Keshawn Martin.
Both Amendola and LaFell are questionable Sunday due to injuries sustained in Week 15 versus the Titans. Amendola injured his left knee, the one that kept him out of the Week 12 game versus Denver. And LaFell appeared to injure his left foot, the one that kept him on the PUP list until Week 7.
If one or both can't go Sunday, the Patriots may be seeking to use a wide receiver who grasps the offense better than Hankerson. Undrafted rookie Chris Harper could get promoted from the practice squad.

Patriots WR Julian Edelman (foot) missed practice again Thursday. He remains out for another month or so. Danny Amendola, Brandon LaFell and Keshawn Martin are trying to hold down the fort until he can return.

Patriots WR Julian Edelman (foot, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 13. He's not going to play for a while. Danny Amendola, Brandon LaFell and Keshawn Martin will have to pick up the slack.

Friday, November 27, 2015, 6:20pm
Patriots WR Keshawn Martin (hamstring, questionable) took limited practice reps all week and is questionable for Week 12. He was limited all last week as well before being ruled out on game day. There is definitely opportunity in the New England receiving corps with Julian Edelman out and Danny Amendola potentially sidelined.

599 Tasting Notes
Backlog from Friday -
Considering I have been mostly avoiding bergamot for a while because I lost my taste for it, I was a bit surprised that I liked this so much. It isn't overwhelming, a nice balance and a very very nice base tea.
I actually really enjoyed it and was sad over the weekend when I couldn't have more because I was craving it. This is actually really good earl grey and I am sad that it's an archived blend. Hopefully it will come back at some point.
Flavors: Bergamot
This one came back in the Verdant Blends box this past summer :) it is such a good tea! I am hoarding it lol
Backlog because Steepster wasn't cooperating on Friday -
Still enjoying this tea, though this is the last of it. Posted a list of my work desk teas and apt in the chatroom picked this one out for me when I was being indecisive. Good choice. The honey is definitely still present in the smell, quite nice, and the taste is mostly okay, but for an old bagged tea, I can't complain too much.
Enjoying this tea again tonight though it is possible that my tastebuds are even more sensitive than normal today for some reason. Since I'm normally on supertaster level, this isn't really a good thing. Especially since I taste things really strongly but I'm not good at identifying what I am tasting if I'm not very familiar with it in other contexts.
In this case, I still enjoy this tea but it tastes very 'dark' tonight, with a bit of an unpleasant aftertaste. It's not quite perfect and definitely not my preference for vanilla tea, which is normally my favourite type of tea. Ah, well. This is a sipdown anyway.
ETA: second cup of the pot, added granulated sugar instead of rock sugar (because I was lazy and didn't want to wait for it to melt) and more milk and it came out really much tastier. Very tasty actually. Much better. Now I'm sad that it's a sipdown :(
Stayed home from work today because combination PMS nastiness and headache of doom. Finally worked up the nerve for some tea later in the day (was afraid of nausea) and having finally set up my computer at home and hanging out at the Steepster Chat, decided I should really make some. I haven't made real tea at home in months. Kitchen is still atrociously disorganized and in some places dirty but the Breville is sparklingly clean after it's bath with the specialized cleaner stuff. Hardly any stain at all and I finally got the bleachy smell to go away.
So, on with the tea. I think I may have overleafed it this time. I didn't record how much tea I put in the last time I drank it, but I seemed to have liked it much better than I did today. It is still sweet and pleasantly toasty but the thing about green teas that I don't like, not quite bitterness but close, was really strong, especially in the second cup. I should only try 1 tsp per 8 oz next time please, self. I think that would be more pleasant.
I did enjoy quite a bit of kitty cuddles from 3 of my 5 kitties while hanging out on the couch. And now it is time to call my mother.
Flavors: Berry, Rice, Toasty
Drinking this again and I am far far too tired to be really interacting with Steepster, as I discovered about 5 minutes ago when a response to a comment I made almost made me cry for no reason.
This tea is quite malty but I'm not enjoying it as much as I apparently did last time because there's a definite bitterness that sweeps in on the aftertaste. I'll try again with the second steep tomorrow morning and then thankfully it is the weekend and I can die on my bed on Saturday.
Found more of this. I'm not sure I can properly make an unbiased tea note toward this tea because I'm resentful that I found more of it. I didn't really measure properly when making it, just made the whole thing into one pot so this one had BETTER be a sip down. The hibiscus is a bit strong. Coconut is okay and not soapy, pineapple is present, otherwise I am very much not impressed. Yokotea has been a continual disappointment for me in terms of blends.
The bergamot in this today is just really not making me happy. Could be a couple of factors. This tea is old. I've really lost my taste for Earl Grey in general. I ruined my tastebuds this morning with a (delicious) marionberry greek yogurt. Possibly overleafed.
At any rate, not especially enjoying this today but it's only one cup this time, not a pot because I hadn't gone water gathering yet when I made it and soon it will be over and I can move on. Until next time, TARDIS blend. Until next time.
Surprisingly, for a Teavana tea, I actually like this one, for the most part. I thought for sure I had reviewed it before, but apparently not, or Steepster has eaten the review.
This is minty but I'm not picking up much chocolate. One of the other reviews I read suggested adding some hot chocolate and I think I might do that next time if I have any on hand. It was a bit disappointing otherwise.
In other news, I spent way too much time looking through posted teas on this site for spam tea. Found a surprising amount. Highlight was the escort girl spam. I've run through the first 500 pages of tea now. I'll work on the rest later.
I will not be changing my rating because it's my own fault, but this tea is old old old and has not aged well at all. If any of you other steepsterites still have some of this in stock, check it because mine has turned super gross.
The upfront taste is fine, if meh, but then I get an attack of BLECH face in the aftertaste so I'm tossing the rest of it, which makes me sad since I bought it at Ovation's going out of business sale and I still have probably upwards of half a pound of it at home. Sad.
This is a sipdown and I am sad about it. This is probably on my RESTOCK FOREVER list, but I have too much tea right now so it'll have to wait.
This tea is two years old, according to the label. It was produced 4/2012, though I don't think I've had it that long. Surprisingly, it has aged really well. At least in taste.
When I was scooping the last of the tea out of my container (which is one of those Teavana with the fabric on them that are so pretty but so expensive), there was a lot of golden fuzz at the bottom. I was like 'what is that?' but it didn't smell like mold at all, though it sort of had that appearance. Cameron on the tea chat referred to it as 'Golden Yunnan fairy dust' and I think she might be right because it hasn't made the taste bad at all.
This is possibly sweeter than it was when I first tasted it, I think. This is an incredibly sweet and malty infusion. I didn't measure all that well for how much went into the Breville because there was obviously only room for one more pot and then I shook most of the fairy dust over the trash out of the infuser but wow, this is a tasty pot of tea.
In other news, Alestorm is now my favourite band. Scottish Pirate Metal is awesome.
I love the golden yunnan fairy dust! It goes into the tea every time!
I also love this tea, & so many other, Gelden yunnans :)
Scottish Pirate Metal? Thud thud thud thud Arrrrgh thud thud thud thud Ye scurvy dog thud thud thud thud?

Pets Portrayed in Films?
From increased demand for particular animals like dalmatians or collies (that may later end up in shelters) to movies where particular breeds are portrayed to be exceptionally violent (Cujo, No Country For Old Men) and damaging their reputation, pets in flicks is a tricky sitch. On one hand, I can't imagine a movie with a killer Boston Terrier would make me fear North, but on the other I still flinch at swarms of birds. What do you think about the portrayal of animals in film — is the scene stealing worth the misconceptions?

Y'know - saved someone's life or anything like that. I don't think I ever have. Don't be modest...
Chat Forum
Have you ever done anything heroic?
RNLI Crew for 5yrs. So I guess I have. But don't and didn't consider some shouts as heroic. More just loving what I did
Lifeguard for 3 years, fished a fair few kids out of the pool which could have turned nasty, a few slips + head injuries. Never had to do CPR or the like.
Had to sort my mate out after a pretty nasty crash once, only a busted collar bone (didn't know that at the time) he went badly in shock.
Not sure if that lot is 'heroic' it was my job / looking after my mate
Good work guys. Any ordinary members of the public who just happened to be in the right place at the right time?
A few times but it wasn't heroic. If I'd have weighed up the risks I'd probably not have.
I saved simeones dog once. It had waded into the mud at thedge of a lake and was up to it's neck. I was pleased I could do that.
Pulled someone out of the way of a car before it went smashing through a brick wall because some numpty left the handbrake off on a massive hill...
Was when I was about 12 just an instinctive reaction not anything I would consider heroic but I'm sure the kid would have ended up in a pretty bad way.
I've held somebodies hair back while they threw up
I once ate 3 day old pizza out of the bin
Run in front a bus in Bedminster to grab a wandering child out of it's immediate path. Proper film-stuff.
Mother just berated me for touching her child; missus at the time when I told her that evening asked if I wanted I medal.
I pulled my unconscious wife out of a burning car after it crashed into a tree. It didn't feel heroic, she's my wife. I'd do it again.
Pulled the emergency stop cord on a train once when a child (still in train) was just about to become separated from their family (on platform) as the train started to pull away.
So far I've caught two pupils in mid-air and stopped them hitting workshop floor as they tell me they're feeling a bit feint...
Don't know about heroic,sometimes stuff just happens while someone is there to change things.
Saved my mate from drowning when we both got taken out by a rip,he was close to giving up and I got us to a rock ,then we got picked up by a boat after waving at the shoreline for a good bit.I will never forget him shouting for his mum before I got to him.
Caught a kid going under for what could have been one too many times at the local pool,when he was in a bit of a blind spot from the life gaurds ,I was the only one that seemed to be looking in his direction.
Water ay
East London Policeman for 10 years, so yes, a lot.
On a night out a friend decided he was going to try and 'pull' a rather attractive lady, unfortunately for me her friend was rather on the large side. My actions that night can only be described as 'heroic'.
I will never forget him shouting for his mum before I got to him.
Powerful sentence that.
Run in front a bus in Bedminster
How weird. I had a dream about Bedminster just the other night. My dad used to own a shop there and I was trying to find it/ Couldn't of course. Fasthaggis, I think you're winning.
On a night out a friend decided he was going to try and 'pull' a rather attractive lady, unfortunately for me her friend was rather on the large side. My actions that night can only be described as 'heroic'.
You 'entertained' the friend, yes..?
I had a dream about Bedminster just the other night
That's called a nightmare
househusband - Member
On a night out a friend decided he was going to try and 'pull' a rather attractive lady, unfortunately for me her friend was rather on the large side. My actions that night can only be described as 'heroic'.
You 'entertained' the friend, yes..?
.......and my mate didn't. He still owes me
Cracked open someones chest with a pair of tuffcuts to get their heart restarted....?
(You pay me for what you never want me to do to you!)
I also saved a good friend from drowning.
I just Googled 'tuffcuts' hoping it was specialist medical equipment...
I've done CPR a couple of times. First one was a heart attack, managed to help them until the paramedics arrived. Second one was a no go right from the off. Two other surfers pulled him out at Langland. He'd been in the water for a bit.
Quite a few first aid instances. Choker, seizures, bleeders. Lots of shock.
I'm either a magnet for the wounded or I subconsciously go looking for it.
One hogmanay got myself thoroughly crushed after deciding to stay in a crowd, lifting people out over the fence that was causing the crush... Not sure if I'd have done it if I'd known what it was going to be like though, proper nightmare material.
Forcibly restrained someone to stop them committing suicide. Hardest thing I've ever done.
Jumped in front of a rioting mob to stop them setting fire to someone's livelihood.
Pulled the emergency stop cord on a train once when a child (still in train) was just about to become separated from their family (on platform) as the train started to pull away.
Had to shepherd two kids back to their parents after they got separated by the metro doors in New York. Only my second ever ride on the metro so immediately flummoxed by local and express lines - 'don't panic kids we'll just get off at the next stop and go back' we then rocket through three or four stations without stopping. Got off eventually and managed to call the parents and tell them to stay put then navigate our way back to them. Like i say, only my second trip on the metro - the family were from a farm in pensilvania somewhere and it was their first day in a city ever and their first ever trip on a train.
My own hero moment was working around a two story high scaffold staircase that was being de-rigged. There was some mis-communication and haste and the wrong clamps were released and suddenly the whole thing turned to jelly, everyone tried to steady it while the clamps were re-done but it was a lost cause and it was going to fall. I told everyone on "3" we all run clear and let it drop. I then counted to 3 everyone ran and, involuntarily, I just held onto it until everyone else was clear before I ran myself.
Pretty dumb really as it was me it was falling towards from he outset. The very top of the 20 ft structure (and a few dozen 4ft x9"x 4" timber stair treads) hit the middle of my spine so hard it bent the scaff tubes, I was concertina-ed into the ground with my knees hitting my shoulders.My jeans burst with the impact. The whole thing hit me so hard it bounced back up and I was bounced clear before it came down the second time. Immediately everyone was around me telling me to stay calm and not move - worried that I was causing a fuss and lying there will just panic people into thinking I was paralysed I just got up and dusted myself off. Surprisingly - baring the tattered jeans and having a big graze down my back and the concrete embossed in to the skin of my knees - I was indeed totally unscathed. Some sugary tea and breather and I was back to work within about half an hour.
Sore in the morning though
The amount of wind I just broke was pretty heroic.
I saved my mates life on our first day in whistler. If I didn't go looking for him he'd be gone. I'd tell you all about it but I'm on my phone.
Good stories everyone.
Same as someone else above. Police officer for years. So lots of times. Not sure if it's still classed as heroic if you get paid and are regarded as variously, filthy plebs or hideous fascists depending on your own political bent.
filthy plebs or hideous fascists depending on your own political bent.
Just the first one for me.
Had a couple of work related issues involving very deranged people with large knives. Didn't and don't feel heroic at all but large amounts of WTF afterwards when realising what might have happened.
Just work. Its what I do.
The closest I've come is jumping in to a river to save a child who had fallen off a boat without a lift jacket on, his patents were just watching on doing nothing so I thought I'd better. I wouldn't class it as heroic though, I fell in plenty of times myself and was always fine.
Rescued 3 generations of a family who were caught in a rip and screaming for help at freshwater west. When I got to one of them he was about 10 seconds away from going under for the last time. Also.. Pulled a small boy out of a river as he'd just fallen in and I happened to be in the right place to walk a few steps and just reach out to grab an arm.. if I hadn't been there neither would he now. More right place right time rather than heroic.

Commented NERVOSA vocalist/bassist Fernanda Lira: "This is a big step, and a dream come true for the band to record this album in the U.S.! We are happy to work with Brendan, who is a producer we appreciate a lot, and even more fulfilled to record the drums in the studio of this major producer Sylvia Massy!"
Asked by Planet Mosh what the reason is for NERVOSA's "fast success," Fernanda said: "I wouldn't say that's success, but I really agree with you that it was fast. It takes years for some bands to get where we are and we are really thankful for that."

An App for Long-Distance Relationships
Public declarations of love on Facebook timelines are either sweet or sickly, depending on your point of view. A new app "Pair" should offer something for both romantics and anti-romantics.
For those engaged in a long-distance relationship it provides a variety of ways of keeping in touch. And it should help keep those statements of love, which can be slightly uncomfortable for the rest of the world, off the Facebook timeline.
The app basically creates a private shared timeline for couples that allows them to easily swap messages, photos, videos and locations with each other…
All users have to do is pair the app with their partner (only one partner allowed at a time) and they're good to go – couples can start sharing rightaway. Pair also lets user draw together, have a joint to-do list, "thumb kiss" (both users place their thumbs on the screen, and if they hit the same spot the phone vibrates), and more.
The app is already availably as a download from the Apple App Store. An Android version is also reportedly being developed and there will be cross-platform functionality. (It would be a shame if a beautiful relationship failed on grounds of incompatible operating systems.)

KP-08 pistol replica (CO2)
The KP-08 green-gas pistol replica's pistol grip was made of durable anti-skid surfaced plastic while as the slide and the major elements are made of metal. The very well make and part fitting guarantee a trouble-free and precise operation of the replica.
The replica is equipped with a thumb safety lever located on one side of the replica that blocks the trigger mechanism and disallows a random shots. The access to the thumb safety lever is very easy while the safety lever is located within the reach of the thumb. A functional rear pressure safety was applied in this model which enforces a proper grip in order to place a shot.
The reasonable muzzle velocity makes this replica nothing but a perfect choice for a sidearm that can be used in building and on short distances. At the same time, the green-gas consumption is not big in comparison to the pistol replica that have a greater power and this fact makes the replica economic in use. The magazine holds 28 BB pellets.
The set includes:
- the replica,
- a magazine
Replika pistoletu KP-08 (CO2)
KJ Works
6 months
|Made of:
Metal + plastic
|Propulsion / Powered by:
Gas propulsion - CO2 12g
|Velocity [FPS]:
It is the spped of bb, while its leaving the innerbarrel of replica. This speed is measured in FPS (Feet Per Second).
1 FPS = 0,3 m/s
1 J = 99 m/s
|Lenght [mm]:
The length of the replca is measured between the two most distant points of each other. Different models have several of these values, because of its design allows to increase or decrease it length (eg. folding stock or extended flash hider).
|Weight [g]:
This is a value that includes the weight of the replica, magazine and other accessories that are include in set without a battery, charger, cleaning rod, etc., etc.
|Type of fire:
|Magazine type:
Low-Cap magazine
|Magazine capacity [pcs]:
Hop-Up system is used for overclocking bb during the shot (putting it in rotation), through which, it extends its flight path. Acting laws of physics make that bb lift up, while the gravitational force take it down. Appropriate adjustment of Hop-Up, will compensate for these two factors, which result in long and straight flight for longer distance and be greater focus shot (to improve accuracy).
Yes, adjustable
|Blow Back:
Blow back is a simulation system of the cocking lever - it imitates the work of it as the equivalent sharp. This system raises the realism and adds a lot more experience during shooting.

McDonough: W.H. tracking Sochi security 'very, very closely'
The White House is closely monitoring security surrounding the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia and isn't discouraging Americans from going to the games.
"We are tracking it very, very closely. as you would expect," White House chief of staff Denis McDonough said in an interview for Sunday on CBS's "Face the Nation." "We're in close touch with the Russians. When we get new information, we share with the American people."
The administration isn't discouraging Americans from traveling to Sochi, but does recommend they keep tabs on news coming out of the State Department. "Our request is not that people do not travel. In fact, we have said that people could travel to the Olympics," McDonough said. "We just want them to stay in touch with the State Department while they travel, watch the website for updates."
But, with the opening ceremony set for Friday, "we feel good that the Russians are taking serious steps right now" to secure the games, McDonough said.
There has been some grousing that the administration hasn't been getting enough information about threats in Sochi, and McDonough didn't fully deny that notion. "We always want more information. That's the life blood of how we keep our people safe," he said. "More information is always better than less."

Professional groups offer career training, networking events

When it comes to business networking for the city's multicultural professional class, Boston is home to some of the best and most active groups in the country.
Local organizations host everything from social meet-ups to community giveback events to job-hunting and leadership training.
Networking is a good way for professionals from the city's various minority groups to meet people, swap information and keep in the loop for advancing their careers.
The Boston chapter of the Association of Latino Professionals in Finance and Accounting has some 2,300 members, the second-largest chapter in the country, and is set to celebrate its 40th anniversary with a leadership summit on Nov. 15. ALPFA sponsors a large array of monthly events and hosts annual summits on executive leadership, and for Latina women and students. Thirty percent of its Boston members are students, many belonging to six chartered campus chapters.
"We're a group of very talented people who happen to be diverse," said ALPFA Executive Director Radhames Nova.
ALPFA began as a networking group for finance professionals, but has expanded into health care and law and with a veterans initiative. Nova says 20 percent of Hub chapter members are non-Latino, and anyone can join for the $120 annual membership fee, or $20-$30 annually for students.
"We don't ask companies what they can do for us, we ask them what we can do to present job candidates that will add value to them," said Nova, whose organization has 45 corporate partners, including State Street Corp., TJX, John Hancock and Liberty Mutual. "We develop trustworthy relationships with our corporate partners so we can introduce them to the best-qualified members of our organization."
Nova immigrated from the Dominican Republic to Lawrence when he was 13. He joined the Boy's and Girl's Club, to which he returned after college to be its first fundraising director. He earned a master's degree in business and began a career in the investments business, where fellow ALPFA members got him a start. He was offered the executive director post a year ago.
"Coming from where I did, without privilege, I understand how difficult it is to cultivate relationships that could get you into one of the big companies," Nova said.
The 400-member Boston chapter of the National Association of Asian-American Professionals also uses its corporate sponsorships to help its members advance their careers.
"We have an exclusive listing of jobs from our corporate sponsors," said chapter president Ming Hui, an analyst in the Global Credit Research group at Putnam Investments, one of the group's gold sponsors, along with State Street, Liberty Mutual and Harvard Pilgrim. NAAAP has given away $130,000 in college scholarships to local Asian high school students over the past five years.
NAAAP also sponsors four events every month, including "industry dinners," where members can meet other professionals in their fields and make contacts for jobs. Several events are mock-interview and resume workshops with human resources professionals. NAAAP also has four quarterly conferences focusing on career advancement. And to be a member, it costs $35 a year ($25 for students).
Hui, who started as a NAAAP member and now leads the local chapter, said she and other members have developed leadership skills by taking on responsibilities for the group, which has no paid staff.
"It's been good for me, and for my job at Putnam," said Hui, a Babson grad whose latest promotion has her in charge of analyzing 80 companies covering some $1 billion worth of assets.
Networking groups provide leadership training to help members get promotions and advance their careers. The most well-known and influential in the area are leadership training workshops offered by The Partnership, a 25-year-old Boston-based group with 250 corporate partners that has trained more than 3,000 local minority professionals, including Nova and Hui, to become leaders in the city's corporate structure. Open to all minorities in the city, The Partnership offers intense weeklong workshops and once-a-month programs for a year for both up-and-coming and mid-career executives who are sent by their companies to participate. Here they learn best practices and how to advance to senior positions in their companies.
"As the journey to have more diverse representation in our corporations advances, it's not about social justice but about business," said The Partnership's CEO Carol Fulp, a former top marketing executive at John Hancock, who became head of The Partnership six months ago. "Having diverse perspectives is now critical for companies that operate in a global marketplace, and who are looking for ways to reach people from other cultures with their products and services."
Fulp said one training challenge for minorities is learning to be their true selves in the workplace, because she says "people do their best work when they're comfortable. There are benefits to having different perspectives for companies to serve their target markets and grow their businesses."
Fulp insisted that there's more to professional business networking than just advancing yourself.
"Our motto is not only should you succeed, but you must bring others along with you," she said. "The more executives become part of the larger community, the more likely they will stay in the Boston area, and fostering retention and personal growth are a big part of what we do. The best networkers are ambassadors as well as leaders."
The business/community approach is also embraced by ALPFA and NAAAP, which offer frequent community giveback events, where group members help nonprofits, mentor students and volunteer to serve on boards in community organizations.
Multicultural networking is moving in another direction, toward events that bring together different minority groups. Public relations guru Colette Phillips is a pioneer in this area with her monthly Get Konnected! professional business networking events.
"These groups have been operating in silos, with members networking with people from their own cultural groups," said Phillips, who holds the events in upscale venues with guest speakers who run the gamut from business leaders to master chefs. "I thought it would be spectacular to get members from different organizations together on a regular basis."
Get Konnected has been sponsoring free events that attract 200-300 people with the support of its corporate partners and affinity groups that include ALPFA, NAAAP and The Partnership.
"We get everyone from CEOs to grad students at our events," Phillips said, adding that its next event is scheduled for Nov. 27 at the Back Bay Social Club. "It's a great way to meet people who could help you get a job in an informal and fun setting."

Resale price maintenance regulations in the United States and the United Kingdom both appear to have a nearly identical goal: preventing and punishing agreements that restrain competition. But nuances abound within the laws and practices of both countries regarding price-setting policies and agreements. And since both countries' antitrust regulations have extraterritorial reach, regulation of resale price maintenance stretches beyond U.S. and U.K. borders. Further, as the recent U.S. and EU challenges to the Apple Corporation's e-book price-fixing schemes have demonstrated, companies may be obliged to simultaneously follow the regulations of both jurisdictions. The following is an introduction to this continually evolving area of the law in the United States and U.K.
Section 1 of the Federal Sherman Antitrust Act bans agreements to restrain trade: "Every contract, combination in the form of trust or otherwise, or conspiracy, in restraint of trade or commerce among the several States, or with foreign nations, is hereby declared to be illegal." 15 U.S.C. § 1. Federal law does allow manufacturers to unilaterally decide on a minimum resale price for their products, announce that price to retailers, and then refuse to deal with any retailer that fails to comply with the pricing. Monsanto Co. v. Spray-Rite Service Corp., 465 U.S. 752 (1984). But, to varying degrees, federal and state antitrust laws currently prohibit price-setting agreements. Thus, the crucial legal questions are what constitutes a universally permitted policy and what constitutes a possibly illegal agreement. U.S. federal and state courts vary in their answers to this question, and the area of the law is rapidly evolving.

There was no honeymoon following Alan Porter and Angela Newton's surprise wedding at Woodlands Hotel in Spalding on Sunday.
The following day Angela was up early for a meeting at South Holland District Council, where she has been a district councillor for 40 years, an achievement marked by the presentation of a ruby ring by council leader Gary Porter.
The couple have been together for 37 years and have a son, Andrew, who is married to Helen, and they have a six-year-old son, Joseph. Alan has three grown up daughters from a previous marriage.
It was family members who urged the couple to get married, but Angela says when they were running AP Auctions and AP Sales they never had the time.
She said: "I think as we've had more time together since I retired about 18 months ago we thought we would get married. It makes sense for succession planning."
The couple know so many people that drawing up a guest list would have been a difficult task, so it was family only when 32 people gathered for the wedding ceremony and meal. Photo: SG180514-131TW

I need to start reading reviews. This place literally scared me. The most haunting part is that their was no elevator and my knee was bothering me. There was this door under the stairs, very strange place to put a door. I had all these creepy thoughts about the door. I'm sure I would have been unaffected in most cases but the hotel was seemingly god forsaken. I told my husband if I see a roach, we're outta there.
Got in there and there was some sort of trick to make the refrigerator work. The chairs near the table didn't match. Come on! Couldnt get matching chairs?
