Looking for a Esky Lama v3 "adjusting/tuning" guide
Hi all,
I am very new to the world of RC heli's.
I just ordered a Esky Lama V3 which should be here in about a 3 days.
I figure the first thing I should do is "get to know" the helicopter. I found a few threads about adjusting the swashplate and such, but I was hoping to find a more complete guide that details how to adjust/fix/work on the heli.
I just want to make sure it is setup properly before the first flight attempt and I'm sure I'll need to know how to replace and readjust all those parts that I'm going to break
I see there is a thread for the V4:
Are these two heli's similiar enough that the most of the info in that thread would apply to the V3 as well?
I have 4 V3's, two complete with radios and 2 "barebones" with no radios. I have a Robins body for the one and I will probbably change another one too. I got a set of servos for the barebones heli and a couple of 4 in 1's.
I follow and participate in both the V3 and V4 threads, the problems are the same.
Have FUN!
A quick word of advice...
Don't tinker around too much before your first flight. The heli should be pretty good straight out of the box. You don't need to fiddle around with swashplate leveling and the like at this stage. These are all important things once you've started breaking and replacing stuff but assuming nothing has happened to it in the post it should simply be a matter of charging the battery installing the transmitter batteries (make sure you'll have 8 AA's ready to go) and firing her up. It won't hover "hands off" but only Co-ax pilots think that that's an achieveable goal anyway.
Just take it easy and get to know your heli. Read the instrustions (they aren't great but that doesn't mean they should be ignored). All you'll need to do is a bit of trimming and that's all part of the learning process. Pick a reasonable indoor location at least 9ft (2.5m) square but bigger is better, where there are no drafts and try you first hover.
The heli will spin and slide around so be ready for it and if anything goes too far out of control, have a plan in place to cut the throttle and just let the heli drop back to the floor. This sounds drastic but your little heli is tough and an out control heli at full throttle can do a lot of damage to the surrounding as well as itself whereas 99% of the time a Lama dropped from less than 4 ft will be undamaged.
Start by just doing short hops and hovers to about 3ft. The throttle control takes a bit of getting used to because there is some lag between the power input command and the reaction of the heli. So throttle up gradually so that you can see that the heli is getting lighter then it will lift off into "ground effect" this is a zone that exists between the floor and about 2 rotor spans off the floor (roughly 2 feet for a Lama) the heli requires less power to fly in this zone but it is also little less stable and more skitish (for a Lama anyway). Increasing the throttle will ge you climbing properly. Take it up to 3 -4 ft (around 1 m or so). back the throttle off slightly (very slightly) and you will hover - hover for a second or two and then back the throttle off a little to start a descent and land. Do this until you are confident about hovering long enough to start trimming the heli.
Trim the Rudder first since it is the easiest to diagnose and correct and also masks the trim errors on the elevator and ailerons. Then trim the other controls. Once you heli is in reasonable trim your Take-off --- Hover --- Land excercises will be easier and you can go for longer hovers... and start flying.
Once your been flying your heli the other thing to be aware of is the battery. You don't need stopwatches or stuff like that but plan to shut down at around 8 minutes. 10 to 15 of those Take-off hover-land cycles will do it for the first battery. You won't be able to tell that the battery is getting flat - lipos are like that. If it happens that you do notice a drop off in power land and shut down straight away. At this stage it's better to shut down early rather than late because you are just running your battery in and it normally takes a few charge/discharge cycles to get get the battery up to its peak.
The big thing is to take it easy and not to get frustrated. Every awsome pilot you see flying in videos and at club meets etc. had to learn how to fly. Even though the Lama is easy to fly expect it to be tricky for at least the first dozen Batteries or so while you reactions catch up to you heli and start feeling natural.
OK I dropped mine, broke it, bought a metal upgrade, then took it to the hobbies store and 50.00 later it still won't fly like it did when it was new. It comes up and left right fwd & bck are very delayed.
The hobbies show sez there are very delicate machines - I say it flew good b4 so now what - Help pls
Here's another word of advice for when you get your V3. Disconnect the battery and power down BEFORE making any adjustments to the heli or carrying it around. The first week I got it I made the grand mistake of carrying it and the transmitter from one room to another with both the transmitter and the receiver turned on. I accidentally bumped the throttle and it started spooling up in my hand and ripping itself apart. I had it less than a week and I already had to order a new gear/outer shaft and glue the tail back together and make repairs. Don't make the same mistake I did.
Otherwise it's a great machine. I've been flying mine for 6 months and it's still going strong. It handles beautifully, it's very stable, and, although it took a lot of practice, easy to fly in a small room without hitting anything.
... could you be a little more specific please? WHAT metal upgrade did you buy?
I bought a lot of metal upgrades myself, from various different places - and the one thing about metal upgrades I know now, is that they are quite different VERY often, in VERY LITTLE aspects which are sometimes barely visible ....
Basically you can make a L3 fly a lot better even with a 10$ upgrade set from DX (dealextreme.com) - but that will require some work. Actually EVERY metal upgrade usually requires quite a bit of work, before it functions as expected ... what you need most of the time is "tuning for your tuning parts" !!
So back to the basics, WHICH metal upgrades did you buy, and WHICH did you install?
The upgrades I would recommend personally are a longer inner shaft (right now I use the helitek supershaft 2.0), a aluminum upper rotor head (the ones out of those 10$ china sets are pretty decent, but you need some luck) and a metal swash plate (same thing, the ones out of the 10$ chinaset are usually pretty decent - and will much less likely disintegrate into two parts than the stock plastic one usually does - but the swashplate in particular need 'A LOT' pf tuning, before it will work properly ... at least that is what I experienced)
All the other metal tuning parts are nice optics, and will help sooner or later, but for the beginning, those 3 are the really important metal upgrades.
1. Upper Head
2. Supershaft (2.0)
3. Swash plate (and 4. aluminum guide for swash plate links once you did "tune" your tuning swashplate.
next point to look at, is the fit of the flybar into the upper head - there can be various problems that you might not even think of - but you probably read about all of them here in the forum (or not )
Most important thing: "The fit flybar to upper head has to be as perfect as possible"
There MUST NOT be any sideways space for flybar movement - if your flybar moves left or right more than REALLY !!! just a miniscule tiny bit, ... BAAAD!
It ALWAYS must be able to move up and down "almost by itself" (blow at it and it starts going down - good [this is meant figuratively])
That means, be careful to tighten the screws on the uupper head enough, but not too much... if you make them too tight, the sides of the head will bent inwards and kind of clutch the flybar)
As you say, the reaction to TX input is delayed, check how loose the links sit on the brass balls. They MUST be VERY loose (i.e. move extremely easily around without popping off) if you can do something like THIS, you ABSOLUTELY need to get some sandpaper (180 or finer) which - to my experience - is usually the case with EVERY metal upgrade.
If you place a swash plate like in the picture, it must "fall down" right away - without ANY type of resistance.
And of course this has to be usually done with all 4 brass balls on the swashplate.
A good idea is also to exchange the inner brass balls against some with longer "body" like the ones on the outer swash ... but to do that, you usually need a second swash plate, just to use the brass balls. This is also the time to install the aluminum lower rotor head - or at least the guide, because the stock plastic one will no longer be "wide" enough.
This was a lot to read, I hope it helps a little
THIS is how the swash looks AFTER the mod I am talking about
THIS is how the lower rotor head will (should) look ... also pay attentions on how the links from the blade grip down to the swash plate are totally straight and no longer angled like a V ...
Hey wow - A better answer than these are delicate machines, I can fly the heli but I have 30 yrs experience behind me the novice will not be able to react and adjust as quickly as I can.
I originally wanted to jut buy a new heli and I told the shop that I wanted to do that. I even said just put the original plastic parts back on. They assured me that it could be fixed. After I called and said this is unflyable I get these are delicate machines speech. Then I get I have to be paid for my time - It will be the last time I'll pay for that kind of time. I can't believe that this shop gets away with this. The speech was very rehearsed so I guess he gets a lot of complaints.
Enough about the shop - I really appreciate your response!!! I don't quiet understand the Looks like a V comment but I have a starting point. If there are any other links you can point me to I could use all the help I can get!
I don't know what the metal parts are my brother bought them, It's the shaft (longer), swash plate (Blue & Silver) and metal blade holders.
Last edited by Capatosta; May 21, 2009 at 10:15 PM.
What I wanted to say with the "looks like a V" is that the plastic links from the swash plate to the Blade grip are further apart at the blade grips than they are at the swash blade - similar to a V that is "wide" at the top and (extremely) narrow at the bottom.
For the metal swash and the blade grips it would be best if you could provide a picture, in particular with the blade grips ... but the cheaper the metal parts were (especially the blade grips) the more likely you got the ones you better get rid of (which is by far not as true for the swashplate). Longer shaft is always helpful a you will automatically lower the probability of a blade strike (even though I manage to still get blade strikes with a helitek supershaft 2.0 installed)
Metal blade grips that work are the ones from Xtreme. I still did not get a chance to test my new blade grips from micro heli - because they do not fit on those china tuning sets (they sit way tooo tight)
So short version for long post:
If you can, please provide a picture of swash and blade grip
Looks nice, I did not use the metal blade grips as too many members were negative about those. Is this Esky or the DX type?
I have the DX type myself as cost was a factor with me. My unit works and handles great with the set.
I posted cuz its broke

When the hormones withdraw after the menstrual cycle, the blood supply is cut off and the tissues and unfertilized egg are shed as waste. During pregnancy, the uterus stretches from three to four inches in length to a size which will accommodate a growing baby. During this time, muscular walls increase from two to three ounces to about two pounds and these powerful muscles release the baby through the birth canal with great force. The womb shrinks back to half its pregnant weight before a baby is a week old. By the time the baby is a month old, the uterus may be as small as when the egg first entered.

Wlad stops Thompson, wins for Fury and Brook
Round-up: World heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko shook off a slow start to stop Tony Thompson in round six and retain his titles in Berne.
Klitschko, who earned an 11th-round stoppage win over the American four years ago, was dragged out of his usual defensive fortress almost immediately but recovered from a shaky opening pair of rounds to take full control.
A low guard from the American was punished in round five with a stinging right hand, and though Thompson beat the count he was unable to do so in the sixth as 'Dr. Steelhammer' struck again to keep hold of his WBA, IBF, WBO, IBO and The Ring heavyweight straps.
Meanwhile, potential future Klitschko challenger Tyson Fury cruised to a one-sided success over Vinny Maddalone to claim the WBO Intercontinental title with a referee stoppage in the middle of round five.
Fury wore his American adversary down with his jab from the opening bell, cutting him in round four before an official intervention to prevent any further abuse in what proved to be a mis-match in Clevedon.
Kell Brook, on the other hand, had to graft a little harder for success in a bloody and compelling majority decision victory in his home town of Sheffield over Carson Jones in a welterweight World title contention eliminator.
After showing great style to dominate the early rounds, Brook was dragged into a war of attrition by his rugged opponent and appeared to be in deep trouble at the half-way stage after sustaining what may well be a broken nose, leaving 'The Special One' a bloodied mess.
But the undefeated local lad showed a whole new side from there, catching a second wind to rally in the championship rounds and put himself out of reach in the eyes of two of the three judges, with the third ruling the bout a draw.
In other notable results, Gavin Rees retained his British and European lightweight titles with a round-nine stoppage against a physically-tough but technically-outgunned Derry Mathews, while Grzegorz Proska regained his European middleweight belt in another rematch, defeating Kerry Hope in the eighth.
Chris Eubank Jnr also continued his promising career in successful fashion under the watchful eye of his former World super-middleweight champion father, earning the referee's decision after six exciting rounds against Terry Caruthers, while Lee Haskins captured the European bantamweight title with a unanimous decision victory over Stuart Hall.

I was asking him questions about the affair, and specifically whether he and OW1 had ever exchanged gifts. I'd asked this question before, and I always go the same answer: no gifts, just an exchange of Christmas cards in December of 2013.
Last night, when I asked the same question again I got a different answer - now he says they did exchange birthday and Christmas gifts in 2013. My SO told me he'd thrown out the Christmas gift that the OW had given him, but NOT the birthday gift. (It was a case for his glasses.) When I asked him why he'd kept it, he explained that he really liked it, and didn't want to get rid of it. He then asked me angrily if I wanted him to throw it away, and I said yes, I didn't think it was appropriate for him to keep gifts from the OW, particularly if was committed to reconciliation, which has been his position to date. He did not respond well, although he did throw out the gift, and I lost it.
I'm so upset - first, that he lied about whether gifts were exchanged, and second, that he chose to keep the Christmas gift because he "liked it", despite the fact he knew it would hurt me. It just reinforces the sense I already have that my feelings don't matter. That his feelings ALWAYS come first. That my feelings are less important than an inanimate object you can replace for $50 at any optical store.
Am I being totally unreasonable about this?
And yes, I think it's INCREDIBLY disrespectful of your selfish husband to think it's perfectly ok to keep something his exOW gave him. Whether he 'likes' it or not is absolutely immaterial in this situation - but it's just more proof that he's STILL putting himself - and his needs - ahead of you and yours.
This is one guy whose going to be incredibly disappointed when scientists discover the center of the universe - and HE'S not it.
So if you still have access to the item, I would place it in the barbecue grill or fire pit or his sock drawer (be sure to put the sock drawer out in the lawn), douse with a copious quantity of white gas (or lighter fluid, if you are less angry) and ignite that baby! It will be very cathartic!!
And be careful in the future not to miss opportunities like this. Sadly, I missed many chances, so I speak with retroactive wisdom. Take care.
Am I being totally unreasonable about this?
You are absolutely not being unreasonable. Him keeping presents from OW is not fair if it is hurting you. The right move is to throw them out. It they have $ value, sell them and you get the choose how to spend the $.
I would recommend adjusting your approach. Are you always going to be there to force him to make the right decision? Are you always going to lose it when he is angry that he has to do something he doesn't want to do?
It is not easy early on but keep a simple and clear message. Clearly explain the expectation - you do not want any gifts from OW to be kept. Hiding these gifts from me will only make is significantly worse. He has a choice, to throw them out because they hurt you or keep them. If he makes the wrong choice, he it telling you what he values more. Sure maybe he really liked the glasses case. Eventually, he will learn that saving $50 will cost him much more in the long run or you will learn that you need to make a change in where this relationship is going. Forcing him to do it is not going to learn either of you anything.
[This message edited by ReunitePangea at 11:23 AM, April 17th (Thursday)]
If he was totally over this, even if the OW's gift was a Ferrari, he wouldn't keep it. The fact he did and lied about it is not good in terms of your R.
In my case, the last gift the OM gave my ex WGF was a vibrator that he left on her desk at Christmas. What a guy!
NeverAgain2013 - Agree we must reconcile with the fact we'll never get the full story of the affair. I have had times where I've felt like I now know everything I need to know, and it would be better to stop asking questions. At other times, I still feel an overwhelming urge to get all the information I can. I'm hoping that urge will dissipate with time.
ReunitePangea - You're right about staying calm, and providing a simple, clear message. Whether or not my WS listens and acts, I ALWAYS feel better when I'm able to look back on my behaviour and see that I kept my cool.
Thank you all for your support and suggestions!

The Academy Awards was an enchanting evening for Best Actress winner Natalie Portman – until Republican presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee slammed her publicly for being pregnant and single, stating that it is troubling when people see a "Natalie Portman or some other Hollywood starlet who boasts of, 'Hey look, you know, we're having children, we're not married.'"
The former Arkansas Governor not only tarnished the glow of Portman's golden statuette, he delivered a sucker punch to single moms everywhere.
Portman has stated that she plans to marry the father of her baby. But shame on Huckabee and others who rip on the moral character of single mothers.
Many single moms are single by choice: they are women who are fulfilling the dream of having a child even though they have not found a life partner to start a family with. Typically these women are making a very conscious choice, have thought carefully about raising a child on their own, and are devoted parents. When politicians and people in the public limelight attempt to broadly shame single mothers, their messages gets transmitted not only to all single moms, but to their children. By blasting single moms they succeed only in strengthening social stigmas against these families, not in reducing single parenthood.
Just ask Circle of Moms' Single Moms community member Stacey C. who writes: "I am single and never married. It was my choice. I was with my boys' dad for 9 1/2 years. He did not keep a job and I worked and supported my boys while he sat at home! The youngest went to daycare. I grew tired of it and told him we were done. My second boyfriend of 5 1/2 years was selfish and didn't work a lot. He had jobs, but again I was supporting him and his children. I have learned a lot from both of these individuals and the man that I am with now is none of the above. He is a loving and caring and a hard working man."
People who throw stones at single mothers, whether they chose from the start to take their journey solo, or simply wound up in the double parent role after leaving unhealthy relationships should consider putting their time and energy into the effort to encourage men to be good dads and caring spouses.

Like any enlightened leader, you encourage feedback from employees. You don't want them to accept your directives blindly; instead, you prefer that they ask challenging questions and express well-intentioned objections.
Just make sure to handle their objections with care. Your first thought should be, "This is a good sign. It means people are interested and thinking about the best outcome."
Follow these techniques after you hear objections:
Keep listening. It's often tempting to interrupt when someone challenges your message. But it's better to resist the urge to jump in.
Let the speaker finish. This shows the speaker that you welcome the objection and you intend to listen fully before you reply.
Dig for more. To reinforce your eagerness to debate the issue, ask follow-up questions such as, "Can you elaborate on that point?" or "What other options would you suggest?" Prodding speakers to discuss their objections and propose their own solutions dignifies their role. It also buys time for you to weigh the best response.
Give a little. Praise the employee for voicing a fair-minded objection. Say, "I think you may be onto something" and explore the pros and cons of alternative action.
You put staffers at ease by avoiding defensiveness. You're also in a better position to exert influence by complementing their point and dissecting the issue more rigorously.

One of these principles can be found in Acts 20:35, when the Apostle Paul had this to say, "I have shown you in every way, by laboring like this, that you must support the weak. And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that he said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive'." I dare say millions of people in the world do not truly understand this principle and what it means.
Most people, by human nature, want all they can get for themselves and do not understand that to have, we must first give. As founder of the Bookcase for Every Child project, one of the greatest blessings I have ever had took place back on Feb. 9, 2014.
On this date, more than 450 people assembled at the First United Methodist Church here in my community to celebrate "World Thinking Day." This is an international program of Girl Scouts, and the theme for this year was "education opens doors for all girls and boys."
Several weeks before this event I was contacted by Susan Eggert, a volunteer with the Faulkner County Girl Scouts. She wanted to know if our bookcase project may have an interest in the local Girl Scout troops collecting preschool children's books for our project. I told her we would be honored to have them.
She then asked if we could have a representative to be present at this event to receive the books. As I understand it, they have 42 troops in the county and they offered cash prizes for the troops who collected the most books. Would you believe that when the books were counted at the event, these girls had collected 2,305 books? The winners were Troop #No. 711 — 36 books per scout and a $100 prize; No. 6254 — 34 books and a $75 prize; No. 6615 — 24 books and a $50 prize; No. 6717 — 20 books and a $25 prize.
I share this not only to praise and honor these Girl Scouts for their good work but also to demonstrate that this was truly the community at work. This is just one of many reasons our community is a fantastic place to live, because countless other groups and individuals also understand the principle that it is indeed more blessed to give than to receive.
Should you live in another community where this column runs each week, I bet you have a lot of this type of activity going on there as well. If you don't, why not be the catalyst to start projects that will benefit the less fortunate in your midst.
The 2,305 books these Girl Scouts collected will meet our needs for several years and we will also be able to share with other Bookcase for Every Child projects in our county. Our goal is to begin the Vilonia Bookcase Project this year and this will make every town of any size having their own bookcase project.
This is a simple concept — people giving back to help those in need, and it can be duplicated county by county (or parishes in Louisiana) throughout the United States of America.
Should you have a problem with illiteracy in your county or community, why not give this some thought. Over time, this can make a tremendous difference to the people in need, and to the long-range good where you live, work and play. This is what I mean by "The Community at Work." From my perspective, it is indeed more blessed to give than to receive.

Is Wyoming At Risk Of Hacking Our Homes?
I love my remote control capability of running my heating and cooling from anywhere in the world. I can bump the temperature up or down if I'm getting out of work early. That hasn't happened yet, but it could… someday….
But there is a new danger with our internet / Bluetooth devices. Black hat hackers can mess with more than your credit card numbers and other vital information. They can jack your previously stupid appliances.
Experts warn that hackers are targeting Wi-Fi-enabled home appliances. Little is known about the hackers. But since they operate HVAC, dishwashers, ovens and vacuums, I'm thinking: a group of rebel maids?

BOCA RATON, Fla. (WCBI/MSU Athletics) – For the ninth time in as many games, dominant pitching and timely hitting led the Mississippi State softball team to two more wins. Friday at the FAU Strike Out Cancer Tournament, the Bulldogs defeated LIU-Brooklyn 5-1 and Maryland 3-1.
MSU is now 9-0 for just the third time in program history, joining the 2008 (11-0) and 2006 (16-0) clubs. The pair of victories also gave Vann Stuedeman her 75th as the head coach of Mississippi State.
In the opener, run-producing singles from senior Sam Lenahan and freshman Caroline Seitz in the fourth inning guided MSU to the victory against LIU-Brooklyn. In the second contest, Lenahan and Seitz did more damage as Lenahan hit a solo home run in the top of the third while Seitz scored and doubled.
During game one in the circle, sophomore Jacey Punches (3-0) tossed five-plus innings and allowed one run on three hits without walking a batter. She struck out seven and has fanned seven or more in all three of her appearances this year. Freshman Mackenzie Toler recorded two outs, yielding two hits. Freshman Alexis Silkwood registered her first career save, getting the final four outs of the contest and fanning two. The Blackbirds' Cassie Vondrak (0-2) threw six-plus frames and surrendered all five runs on 11 hits and seven strikeouts. She also hit two batters. Alyssa Lanktree-Dotson registered the remaining three outs for the Blackbirds.
Against Maryland, senior Alison Owen (4-0) went the distance in the victory, scattering four hits and surrendering her first two walks of the campaign. She fanned eight. Hannah Dewey (0-4) took the loss for the Terps, allowing three runs on three hits and a pair of walks in three innings pitched. Brenna Nation came in for the remaining four frames and gave up three hits and two walks while fanning a trio.
In the opener, neither starting pitcher allowed a base runner until there were two outs in the top of the third, when MSU sophomore Kayla Winkfield singled up the middle. She was caught stealing to end the frame.
The Blackbirds (1-4) recorded their first baserunner with a one-out single by Madison Zymkowitz in the bottom of the third. Punches answered with a pop out and groundout to strand Zymkowitz.
The Bulldogs broke through for a 2-0 lead in the top of the fourth. Senior Heidi Shape registered a one-out single and moved to second on a wild pitch. Classmate Logan Foulks singled through the left side to put runners on the corners for Lenahan, who singled to right to plate Shape. Seitz followed with a single up the middle that drove in redshirt freshman Olivia Golden, who pinch ran for Foulks. A fielder's choice resulted in runners on first and second with two outs for Julia Echols. Echols beat out an infield single, but Seitz rounded third base too far and was tagged out to close the inning.
Mississippi State added another run in the top of the fifth for a 3-0 advantage. Sophomore Loryn Nichols singled, moved to second on a groundout and went to third on a single from senior Jessica Offutt. With Shape at the plate, Offutt was called out for leaving first base early for the second out. Shape was hit by a pitch to put runners on the corners and two down for Foulks, who reached on a fielder's choice as Shape beat the throw to second base and Nichols came home. A strikeout ended the threat.
The Blackbirds had a chance to answer in the bottom of the fifth as Sara Shier led off with a double to right center, but a groundout, fly out and strikeout left her on second.
LIU-Brooklyn broke through in the bottom of the sixth with a run to make it a 3-1 MSU advantage. Madison Green led off with a double to right and Toler entered for Punches. After a pop out and groundout to second baseman Shape, Lauren Morizi singled just off the glove of Toler and into center to plate Green. Celinna Cosio singled up the middle and shortstop Winkfield saved a run by stopping the ball and not allowing it to reach center field. With runners on the corners and two outs, Silkwood entered and struck out Shier to end the threat.
MSU responded immediately in the top of the seventh and got two runs back for the 5-1 final. Offutt singled to lead off the frame and scored on a Shape triple to right center. After two strikeouts, Seitz came through again with a triple to left to drive in Shape. A strikeout closed the inning.
In the bottom of the seventh, Silkwood hit leadoff batter Kayla Gload, but a fielder's choice, pop out and strikeout sealed the victory.
During game two, Mississippi State jumped to a 3-0 lead in the top of the second inning. Lenahan provided the first score with a home run to lead off the frame. Seitz followed with a walk, moved to second on a passed ball and stole third base. After a pop out, Echols picked up the second free pass of the frame, stole second, moved to third on the wild pitch that brought home Seitz and scored on a one-out Nichols infield single. Nichols was caught stealing and Winkfield lined out to end the inning.
Maryland (0-6) answered with a run in the bottom of the third to make it a 3-1 contest. Juli Strange led off with a walk, advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt, stole third and came home on an Erin Pronobis ground ball to Winkfield at shortstop. Winkfield couldn't field the ball cleanly and Pronobis was safe at first on the play, but Owen shut down the rally with a fielder's choice and foul out.
MSU had a chance to respond in the top of the fourth, loading the bases with no outs, but could not score. Seitz led off with a double to left. Toler walked on four pitches and was replaced by pinch runner Katie Anne Bailey to put Bulldogs on first and second for Echols, who singled to left to load the bases. Consecutive fielder's choices at the plate and a strikeout left the bases full of Bulldogs.
Both pitchers settled in and neither team had another scoring opportunity until the bottom of the sixth, when Sarah Calta led off with a single to left center. Calta tried to steal second, but was thrown out by Lenahan. Opponents are just two-for-four on steal attempts versus the Bulldogs this season. After a strikeout, Shannon Bustillos beat out a two-out infield single to keep the inning alive but Owen slammed the door with another whiff.
Owen surrendered a leadoff single to Corey Schwartz in the bottom of the seventh, but followed with a strikeout, foul out and lineout to Echols in right to complete the victory.
MSU wraps up the FAU Strike Out Cancer Tournament on Saturday with a 9 a.m. CT rematch against LIU-Brooklyn.

 I wanted some insight as to how Haskell is going to help me with my project. Also there has been some concerns because of lazy evaluation in Haskell and memory leaks associated with it. http://jlouisramblings.blogspot.com/2010/04/haskell-vs-erlang-for-bittorent-clients.html

 In this talk:
 http://www.galois.com/blog/2009/04/27/engineering-large-projects-in-haskell-a-decade-of-fp-at-galois/
 Don Stewart says that memory leaks are a tractable problem. ĀJust profile and look for the retainers.

 Lazy evaluation is a big win for large projects because it lets you modularise your solution; one function generates a data structure, and another function (or several) consume it. ĀIf the data structure is big or infinite then conventional languages force you to either interleave the generator and consumer, or else jump through lots of hoops re-inventing lazy evaluation on a case-by-case basis. ĀWith Haskell you just say what you mean and let the compiler worry about implementing it.

I think there are times when, in Haskell, you end up jumping through hoops to get specific performance characteristics (iteratees for example), but it appears to be the exception. ĀUsually evaluation on demand gives you what you want and typically adding strictness in a few places fixes any leakiness. ĀSo, while Haskell is not perfect it gives you what you want more often than not. ĀThis translate directly into productivity gains. ĀIt also means that programmers tend to be happier using Haskell as they are fighting the notation less. ĀHappy and productive is a win, even if you have to have a period of optimization at the end of the release cycle. ĀI'd rather optimize correct code than start with a fast buggy version.

I think at this point, the biggest weakness is that the tools for ensuring properties about space and time usage are far less mature than our tools for ensuring correctness. ĀHow would you formally specify your space or other performance needs? ĀOn the other hand, our profiling tools are quite good (ghc heap profiler, threadscope, criterion, etc) so as Don says, the problem is tractable.

Hi there,
are there coming some icons with the flashlight theme and if so, how can i activate them? for example an icon for phone….
in general, how can i insert icons if flashlight has no icons?
yes – flashlight comes with some icons. They can be found in the flashlightimagesicons and flashlightimagesiconsiconbox folder. You can add custom icons to the iconbox folder. Afterwards use the shortcode generator (wordpress editor toolbar > magic wand) and select the icon you want to use for your icon box.
Works perfectly, Thx Dude
The topic 'Icons in flashlight and how to activate' is closed to new replies.

Must say from the initial contact to the completion of the work, he gave us the time to explain faults and work required spending time to even video what he was discovering once removing of the roof tiles, even if it meant showing problems not firstly known of. he didn't even try to get himself the work, he respectfully left it in my hands to decide what to do. to which I asked for him to carry out additional work after having time to think it out for myself. on to the pricing I must say was very respectable. everything that came off the roof was gathered and areas cleared leaving the grounds as clean as when he arrived. very professional..at all times to which I was left feeling very satisfied with outcome... A BIG THANKS....."

"William was very friendly, punctual. Had issues with our chimney and damp. Soon up the ladders and having a look, and our roof, chimney are very high! Took photos to show what the problem was.

"Found BW roofing from Trust A Trader when a leak appeared in our roof. Billy came out the same day and completed a full survey of the roof before explaining the problems, which he showed me photographs of so I could see for myself, which was excellent! Billy went on to discuss the options for repair. The works were completed over the next day and a half and the job was completed to my satisfaction and to the quote provided. I was given a full 10 year guarantee on completion. I found Billy to be very friendly and happy to explain any aspect of the job. They left the area round the house in a clean and tidy condition following the works. Really hard working guys, I would recommend to friends or family."

Noob want to make a text formatter
Hi guys and thanks for not trolling my noobness ;=)
As you might understand from the probably completly false location of this topic I am totally and utterly new to this. The only thing I have ever use coding wise (besides doing a makeshift menu from directing batfiles to eachother in DOS on my 386 like 20years ago) is in matlab and that was a long time ago and most likely has nothing to do with actual coding.
What I want to do, and bare with me, I know I have alot to learn but trust me, I have time to spend on my nightshift and pride myself in being a quick learner and and these types of things usually are my strong side.
So again, what I want to do is create some sort of text formatting template. Not even sure if that is the right word but I will explain. I want to take a simple text, in this cause a text of everyones schedule for the day (I work at a hospital) and have it autoformatted into something completly different. This will force it to be able to recognize certain professions from their names and sort them accordingly. It needs to be able to sort them according to schedule time and make a 07:00 - 07:00 table with the worktime for each individual noted (preferably by filling in those hours with colours, and further using different collors or patterns for different professions).
I have more plans ofcourse but I dont need to state it all since I dont want someone to do this for me simply directions where in gods name I am to start. And I do expect alot of time reading up before I start =). The finnished table and text also needs to be pretty easily edited without needing to go back to the raw text and change things. To add last minute changes etc.
I want to do this cause
A- I find it quite fun actually
B- Well, the current system we have is medieval say the least.. everyone writes in this book when they work every day and at the end of the year the book is like 3 times the size. In general its messy and takes more time then needed .
C- Cant hurt my salary if I manage this well can it
D- I am thinking of starting to study a program with plenty of coding involved in it next semester so hey, why not have atleast some sort of insight, how little it may be.
Well, this novell is now over.. but once again.. I only want to know where to start. what code to use, what program/s to use if any etc. Any help is greatly appreaciated.
Cheers/ doffe

So what your saying is you want to create a table for the Availibility of your consultants?
Although your "novel is very long" your going to have to try and explain a bit more in depth.
I also worked in a hospital as a Systems & Network Manager so dont worry about industry jargon

The North Face of Peak 8,587
|[ Sizes: Orig | Large | Med | Small | Thumb ]
Here I dropped off the north ridge when impassable rocks were met and had to cut across to the slope just below the summit. The close horizon with the stunted trees on it is a good route to the top. Its best to get into the basin just to the left of the photo and go straight up and forget the north ridge altogether. The steep slope further on the left margin is the foot of Needle Point and the furthest bump on the horizon is Glacier Peak. Its west side is not as spectacular as its east side. August 2008

Can You Still Contribute to a 401k After You Start Taking RMDs?by Ericka Kahler ; Updated July 27, 2017
Employer sponsored retirement plans offer automatic retirement savings and tax deductions while you are employed. However, the money accumulated in a 401(k) retirement plan can not continue to accrue tax-deferred indefinitely. The Internal Revenue Service requires that distributions be taken from 401(k) accounts and the taxes which were deferred while you were employed be paid in retirement.
Required Minimum Distributions
After you turn 70.5 years old, the IRS requires you to start withdrawing money from your 401(k) account. These distributions are referred to as Required Minimum Distributions or RMDs. The IRS also dictates the minimum amount you must withdraw using a formula based on your account balance and life expectancy. IRS Publication 590 details how to calculate this amount. If you do not withdraw at least the required minimum, you will be subject to a 50 percent excise tax on the amount you didn't withdraw as required.
Contributions and the Age 70.5 Rule
The IRS prevents contributions to your traditional IRA once you reach age 70.5 or after. Usually, once you begin to take the RMD for your employer sponsored 401(k) you cannot contribute any more money to it. If you reach 70.5 and have not yet retired, you and your employer are still allowed to make contributions to your 401(k) account. However, the mandatory distribution requirement for that particular 401(k) account is waived.
Roth 401(k) Accounts
Roth 401(k) accounts follow different rules than a traditional IRA. All Roth accounts take contributions made with after-tax money, so the contributions are not tax-deductible and distributions, when made in accordance with IRS rules, are not taxed. Roth 401(k) accounts do not require distributions during the lifetime of the account holder. So if you have a Roth 401(k) you can make contributions and take distributions both in the same year, but neither is required by the IRS, even after you reach 70.5.
Contributions or Distributions
Except for certain IRA plans, such as Roth accounts and SEP-IRAs, the IRS allows either contributions or distributions after 70.5, but not both. Though the IRS waives RMDs for your employer-sponsored 401(k) account if you are still working, you will still need to start taking distributions from non-employer sponsored IRA accounts. Your employer may also have rules in place regarding contributions and distributions from your account, so be sure to check your plan information before deciding on a course of action.

Becoming A Man - Poem by Randy McClave
The father told his son when he becomes a man
To always be the very best that he truly can,
Becoming a man pertains to wisdom and not of age
Don't enter it with simplicity and never with a gage,
In your life you can become either ruthless or very clever
Truth and honesty will always be your best endeavor,
I hope you my son will choose wisdom and be very kind
Then truly as a real man you assuredly will be defined,
When you help the needy and the poor, manhood you will learn
But, don't ever do it for glamour or expect praise in return,
The day will come when the deeds of your life will be read
Then all will know you as a man, from the road you have tread,
A man can give his soul to God and become a caring preacher
Or he can give his life to students and become a fine teacher,
He could use his hands to become a farmer or a technician
But, please my son, don't ever become a politician.
Randy L. McClave

This newest colorway features a first-time design cue, as full 3M on the upper finally debuts on an Air Jordan. Combined with the clear panther-paw outsole and cool metallic silver-light graphite colorway, this upcoming Six Rings is just another victory under Jordan's belt. These will hit Jordan retailers such as Foot Locker on September 18th, so stay tuned to Sneaker News for any breaking news. via FLUL.

I don't really see a good alternative to the name State, and a good thing about it is that it is short. Oh, bikesheds ought to be brown, of course. Cheers, Thomas

War in itself is inevitably brutal, taking both a physical and psychological toll on all that participate in it. However, what determines who lives and who dies? What determines who wins and loses? While the numbers of factors involved are truly infinite, it can be safe to say that any faction with a technologically superior force would tend to have a distinct advantage in pitched battles, and in the context of the overall war effort.
Ceradyne (CRDN) specializes in the development and production of advanced technical ceramics that is utilized in industries such as defense, oil & gas, solar and medical. Based upon market conditions and the application of several valuation methodologies, Ceradyne should be considered a buy, with an average margin of safety calculated at 19.05%.
To say that Ceradyne is yet another firm in the defense industry would be a stretch, as the application of ceramics by Ceradyne is numerous, ranging from lightweight ceramic armor for solider/vehicles, enhanced combat helmets, missile radomes, neutron absorbing materials, filters for oil & gas recovery and so on. The majority of their products, however, stem from the science of advanced technical ceramics. Ceramics in themselves are both hardy and resilient to time, as proven in the numerous artifacts uncovered in the earth located in museums throughout the world. These traits, however, are further enhanced via the application of aluminum oxide and other oxides, yielding a product that is tougher then steel, relatively light, capable of withstanding high temperatures, resistant to acids and capable of both insulating and conducting electricity.
Ceradyne, like all firms, faces a number of risks:
A. Revenues stemming from the U.S. government are based on budget allocations, strategic direction of foreign policies and level of conflicts. Operations in the Middle East have been drawn down considerably, and as such production will be affected accordingly.
B. Government contracts are awarded in open bidding processes and can be revoked or modified without penalty.
C. Government contracts can dictate specific qualities to be integrated into products without notice, which may hurt margins. For example, historically, the military has dictated body armor to be both lighter, yet more effective with each generation of product.
D. Energy applications are highly reliant upon government protection with respect to tariffs and subsidies.
On the other side of the coin, however, Ceradyne also enjoys a certain number of competitive advantages:
A. Ceradyne's portfolio of products is diversified, serving a wide range of customers and industries.
B. Ceradyne has several long-term contracts with the U.S. government to provide them with ceramic armors, along with other key customers. As such, long-term goodwill and brand has been established.
C. The process of manufacturing advanced technical ceramics is complicated and strenuous, and as such, renders an economic moat due to not being easily replicated.
D. The firm is vertically integrated, owning both raw material sources and manufacturing capability.
As a result of the numerous applications possible from advanced ceramics, their major customers are diversified into a variety of sectors. The following chart demonstrates the approximate breakdown of sales by sector:
The following demonstrates sales in Q1 of 2012 vs. Q1 of 2011:
As one can see from the charts, approximately 36.6% of their sales are oriented towards the defensive industry. Thus, with the drawdown of the conflict in the Middle East, it should not come as a surprise that comparatively speaking, Q1 of 2012 generated $106.3 million in sales, a drawdown of approximately 30% from sales of $150.1 million in Q1 of 2011. Likewise, net income declined from $23.59 million, to $3.78 million for the same quarterly periods. Much of this decline was attributed to lower demands originating from defense and energy sectors. The causation of the former is apparent, but the cause of the latter is due to "continued pronounced slowdown of demand in the solar energy market due to a reduction of government subsidies… and a buildup of solar inventories."
Looking forward, the firm expects body armor sales to rebound based upon scheduled deliverers. However, Ceradyne lowered its overall guidance for the year due to a cited decline in demand from the energy sector, and production orders from the military. Revenues are now forecasted at $540 to $565 million for the year, with earnings per share estimated to range between $1.40 to $1.65. Yet, in spite of the pessimistic revision, the firm remains optimistic as in early 2012, the firm initiated dividend payments, with a regular dividend established in May of $.15. As CEO and President Moskowitz simply stated, this "enhances shareholder value" and will continue as "we can afford it." The overall strategic direction of the firm is apparent, as in 2010, Ceradyne announced their goal of achieving $1 billion in 2016 in revenues. To accomplish such a goal, Ceradyne must increase their revenues yearly by 15%. The key to the execution of such a plan is as follows:
"Our 'Ceradyne $1 billion' strategy will rely primarily on organic growth coupled with appropriate acquisitions. Our plans are to use the Company's strong cash position to seek out acquisitions while at the same time balancing shareholder value efforts, such as our 2012 quarterly dividend initiation, stock buyback and growth-focused capital expenditures."
The following charts serves as a comparative analysis of Ceradyne and its competitors, within the context of the defense industry.
The following charts and tables demonstrate the relative valuation of Ceradyne under eight different methods.
On one hand, the firm is quite liquid, well above industry standards, with less debt then their counterparts. However, the firm falls short under ROE / ROA metrics. In terms of profitability, the firm is about 4% more profitable then its competitors. The average price rendered from all the multiples is $30.05, which yields an upside potential of 19.05%. Ceradyne trades at a low 3.05x EV/EBITDA multiple, and is trading below book value under current prices. As the tables would further reveal, under the P/S and P/E valuation methodology, the firm is trading at a premium. However, when one utilizes enterprise values lest the revenue metric, and the P/B or P/CF metrics, the firm is trading at a significant discount.
The overall outlook of Ceradyne is quite positive. At current prices, the dividend yield of the firm is 2.38%, and the initiation of dividends to investors in itself signifies a commitment to shareholder value. In addition, Ceradyne is currently trading at a 17% discount from book value, another classic value signal. In terms of operations, the firm is quite aggressive in acquisitions, and is set upon achieving $1 billion in revenues by 2016. Acquisitions are not only in the defense sector, but as their portfolio of products would suggest, diversified across numerous sectors, as Ceradyne attempts to increase non-defense revenues. As such, under current market conditions, an investment into Ceradyne should be considered for investors looking to diversify their holdings.
Gurus Joel Greenblatt and Ken Fisher are currently holding Ceradyne in their portfolio.
