'Till the Cows Come Home
"How long's this gonna take, man?" The receiver crackled loudly in his ear, jolting him. He cursed as the elongated straw almost fell from his fingers.
"Dunno, I'll be done when I'm done." He struggled to contain the anger that surfaced momentarily, but then it was gone as soon as it had appeared and he placed his lips around the straw once more, his jaw set in a grimace of determination.
"What? What the hell is that supposed to mean?
He was becoming tiresome and Leth contemplated tossing the headset aside. He couldn't obviously, it was one of only a dozen they had managed to pilfer from the cows and to Leth and his group of survivors the headsets were pivotal to their mission success.
"It means what it means, think about it, dumbass!"
There was a brief silence, as the owner of the voice on the other end thought it over for a few seconds.
"Just get a move on here, will ya? At this rate we'll be here till the cows come home!"
Leth smiled, his thin lips pursed tightly around the straw that hung precariously, its tip now almost where it should be.
Just a little more … that's it.
"Gotcha!" Leth said, the straw now clutched tightly between his forefinger and thumb as he made sure the straw was in position in the tiny hole they had spent 3 years creating.
The gaseous air that moved slowly over the surface of the dome blew against the straw, ever in motion, its greenish hue creating a Martian-like landscape effect upon the spherical dome when seen from above the Earth's atmosphere.
The straw was buffeted about somewhat in the artificially circulated bugger gas, but this time there would be no mistakes. Leth was sure of that, and as he licked his lips and smacked them loudly a few times in preparation for the next phase of the mission – Operation Airsuck, that's what Coddler had chosen to call it. Nevermind 'air suck,' Leth thought the operation name sucked; still, Coddler was their leader and the idea had been his, so there had been few complaints concerning the name choice.
Without Coddler these forays into their long lost Earth's atmosphere would have been impossible.
"Prepare your lungs, Lethy boy, coz they got some fresh Earth air to suck up!"
Leth nodded, more for himself than for the distant figure above him, riding the air currents on the back of a Sweal, a ridiculously shaped crossbreed of seal and sperm whale that Coddler had somehow decided would be the most suited to riding the waves of the Earth's now gravity lacking outer atmosphere.
Pausing, Leth placed the pink plastic straw between his ice-cold lips, the temperature of the frigid atmosphere around him beginning to take its toll. Even his genetically engineered physiology couldn't last long out in the endless, lifeless expanse of the Thermosphere.
It was a lonely, silent place and with the inky blackness of space mere miles away, punctuated by the presence of Earth some 60 odd miles below, hopelessly out of reach, encapsulated by the immense glass dome the cows had constructed with the help of human slaves.
Planet of the Cows, Leth thought as he let the enormity of what he was about to do sink in.
High above, past the bulbous flapping arms of the sweal and the curious peering eyes of the only other modified human alive – Swik, drifted the massive form of their home, the last bastion of the human race.
The pitifully small number of remaining humans inhabited the only solid ground left to the once great bipedal race – the first and quite possibly last great spaceship ever built.
Lagniappe was a monstrous ship in comparison to anything else ever created since the dawn of man. From bow to stern she was an unbelievable 6.4 miles long and 3.9 miles wide, originally built to carry humans to Alpha Centauri and other stars in search of a new home.
Once, she had stood out in the night sky, lit up by the thousands of lights that flashed across her surface lending her a life of her own, causing many that gazed upon her to gasp at the sheer magnitude of such a structure. Her metallic grey body was covered in geodesic domes and other similar structures where life had once flourished, a perfect imitation of the earth and all its climates and zones. A veritable arc that was to carry Earth's creatures 4.3 light years across space to the much studied Alpha Centauri star system where it was hoped, awaited an Earth-like planet.
As a generation ship, Lagniappe was equipped with the most advanced technology the combined brains of humanity could muster and it was said would last thousands upon thousands of years, self-sustaining. Within it, life-cycles would mirror those upon Earth, generation after generation living, dying over and over until at last she reached her destination.
"Hey, quit daydreaming down there and suck the damn air up that straw if you please. It's getting cold out here and my claws are seizing up, now come on Leth!"
Swik was slightly more modified than Leth, in that he had claws for hands, claws that allowed him to better care for the ship. They weren't the kind of claws you would expect to find on an Earth creature – oh no. These claws were giant titanium pincers, three pronged and bristling with all manner of tools, he would never shake hands again, that's for certain.
"Yeah, yeah. I'm on it, Swik." Leth said, before gulping down one last lungful of the thin thermosphere air. Any normal human would have perished in the thermosphere unprotected from the cold, not to mention the lack of oxygen, but not Swik and Leth. Their bodies were almost unrecognizable from what they once were, a necessity given that humans were now confined to space, since the cows had stolen their planet.
Leth placed his lips around the straw and began to suck, his modified lungs, all four of them, working with him to draw in the precious Earth air that existed below the dome the cows had erected generations earlier.
The literature detailing the fall of man was sparse, but it was still confusing to Leth and the other remaining humans, all 8,133 of them as to how 'cows' of all creatures had been able to overthrow their human masters, wipe them out and conquer the entire planet.
The year was 4037 and according to records, humans had been confined to their ship for over 2000 years. The dome the cows had built around the entire earth was impenetrable, at least it had been, as recently as three years ago, Professor Coddler had discovered that it was growing weaker, its integrity failing.
However, there was no way to get past the bugger gas which perennially snaked across the surface of the dome protecting it from any organic life form. After losing hundreds of men to the gas, both engineered and otherwise, their handful of scientists had discovered that the gas contained swarms of tiny creatures that fed on everything – except armorglass of which the dome was constructed, albeit an incredibly powerful armorglass only the cows and their human slaves could construct.
These little creatures were like the legendary piranha, now just a legend on Lagniappe, and voraciously ate their way through anything that entered the eerie green smoke, whose tendrils snaked along the glass of the dome, glowing and even causing Lagniappe to glow with a sickly green light.
Two lungs were fully filled with air now and the other two were steadily filling as Leth sucked in the surprisingly sweet air from the Earth proper, through the 20 foot long straw that he had managed to slip through the hole, a hole that had taken 3 years to create, just 3 millimeters in diameter.
That was all they needed. The cows, some 60 odd miles below, were oblivious to the two ragged, pitiful human/robots that floated above them. They were too busy grazing; the entire Earth now covered in rich, fertile grassland, their only food despite the rich abundance of food Earth had to offer. The cows seemed only to want to eat grass, and certainly never meat. Forever herbivores.
Leth let out a long exhalation of fresh Earth air, his body invigorated and buzzing with the unimagined levels of oxygen in the air he had just breathed in. The air he had released flowed up through another straw that connected to a bulbous grey tank on the equally bulbous sweal's back. The job was only just beginning. They would suck enough air to create 4 oxygen rich, armorglass penetration bombs, the purer oxygen of the Earth's atmosphere lending a potent power to the blast that Professor Coddler hoped would shatter the dome, at least where the small hole had been chipped away.
"Stage one complete, Leth … can you feel it?"
"Feel what?"
"The anticipation, the knowing, the knowing that we're about to take back what rightfully belongs to us and put those damn cattle back where they belong – in the fields and on our dinner plates!"
Leth smiled up at Swik, atop the sweal above him, the long pink straw clutched in one claw as it snaked into the tank behind him.
"You been reading up on Earth history, I see, Swik!"
"Yeah … well, know thy enemy and all that, you know."
Leth nodded, looking down on the green tinted dome, trying in vain to see through to the Earth below but it was useless – for now.
"Yeah, Swik, I know…"
Leth turned back to the little pink straw in his hand, literally the only material the humans had discovered could get anywhere near the glass dome without being munched by the tiny creatures in the bugger gas.
I wonder what T-bone steak with pepper sauce tastes like …
Leth licked his lips once more before sucking in an almighty breath of Earth air.
If everything went to plan, within 6 months, he might just find out.

Betting Preview: Italy v Germany (Euro U21 Championships)
Italy U21 v Germany U21, European Under-21 Championship semi-final, June 26, 2009
A repeat of the World Cup semi-final in 2006, and both sides will be full of confidence that they can go all the way. Incredibly, these two sides have never met in a competitive Under-21 fixture, nevertheless both sides will be familiar with each others set-up as a host of well known talent meets on the field.
Pierluigi Casiraghi will be able to call upon his feared front-three on Friday night with Mario Balotelli (2/1 to score) back from suspension after his sending off against Sweden. Whilst the Inter Milan striker showed the double-sided nature of his personality with a sublime goal and subsequent red card in the second group game, Sebastian Giovinco and Robert Acquafresca look like the real deal.
The performances of Giovinco (15/2 to score first) in Sweden so far give reason to question why Claudio Ranieri was so reticent to play the "Atomic Ant†more often at Juve last season. The diminutive playmaker is the natural heir to Alessandro Del Piero for both club and country and is one of the most exciting talents on the continent.
Similarly, Acquafresca (6/4 to score), who seems set for another loan move from Inter Milan next season, perhaps to Atalanta, appears to be a target man of real class. He has now scored three goals in the tournament and is realistically the only danger to Sweden's Marcus Berg in the race to be top goal scorer.
This semi-final is also a major match for many of the Azzurrini team. After Italy's senior national team was knocked out the Confederations Cup, Marcelo Lippi was quick to dismiss the emerging talent coming through. Lippi told the Italian journos: "This is it guys, this is the best we've got. So don't ask me about bringing in other youngsters or this player or that player. Because the fact of the matter is that this is as good as it gets.â€
But, on the evidence of this tournament the likes of Buffon, Cannavaro and Pirlo may be replaceable in the short to long term. Andrea Consigli looks like a keeper of real promise (Italy are 5/4 to keep a clean sheet), whilst the likes of Marco Motta, Paolo De Ceglie (injured and out of the squad) and Luca Cigarini could all force their way into Lippi's plans for the 2010 World Cup.
Germany Under-21 coach Horst Hrubesch is also not short of talent to call upon. In particular Mesut Ozil (12/5 to score) has continued his excellent club form for Werder Bremen to establish himself as one of the most highly-talented young playmakers in European football. Such have been his performances in Sweden that one can understand why Bremen allowed Brazilian schemer Diego to leave for Juventus.
The standard of goalkeeping has also been good at this tournament and although Spain's Sergio Asenjo produced some excellent performances, Germany's Manuel Neuer appears to be a custodian with a bright future. (Germany are 15/8 to keep a clean sheet.)
Whilst a host of German players such as Benedikt Howedes, Jerome Boateng, Marko Marin and Ashkan Dejagah (15/2 to be the first scorer) have also established themselves as future stars of the national team, it is questionable whether Hrubesch's side have the attacking talent to compare to their opponents.
Germany could make history if they go all the way in this tournament to add to their Under-17 and Under-19 crowns but they will have to improve on their performances in the group stages. They struggled at times against Spain and England and only a fine two-minute spell against Finland saw them claim their only victory so far.
However, German teams have been written off before at international tournaments and at this late stage it could be all about temperament. The Azzurrini should have too much for their opponents (Italy are 5/4 to win) but maturity and professionalism is the order of the day.
101gg predicts: Italy 3 – Germany 1 (20/1) & Robert Acquafresca to score (6/4)
Full match odds here.

Hillary Clinton has been doing some pretty impressive work as Secretary of State for the Obama administration, especially when it comes to standing up to protect women and girls around the world (and at home), but it looks like her next project will take her from "highly effective senior-level government official" to "awesome historical detective." A longtime fan of famed aviator Amelia Earhart, Clinton is putting her considerable weight behind a new search for the wreckage of Earhart's doomed final flight, which went down almost seventy-five years ago.
The latest expedition comes on the heels of some intriguing new evidence — photos taken on the South Pacific island Nikumaroro, which some believe show the strut and wheel of a plane, possibly Earhart's, sticking out of a body of water. This is particularly exciting because Nikumaroro is the same island where researchers found what they believed to be one of Earhart's finger bones in 2010. Tests to determine the veracity of that claim were inconclusive, but finding the wreckage of a 1930s twin engine plane in the vicinity could go a long way towards bolstering the case.
Sadly, Clinton won't be going to Nikumaroro to investigate the wreckage herself, which means we can't quite upgrade her to real-life Indiana Jones status quite yet. But she gave a press conference today at the State Department to kick off the expedition, which is being mounted by The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery, with a bang. "Even if you do not find what you seek, there is great honor and possibility in the search itself," she said. "So, like our lost heroine, you will all carry our hopes."
It should go without saying that, while I recognize all the many extremely important matters the Secretary of State must devote her time to, I fully support her spending a bit of time investigating infamous mysteries of history. Next up: Hillary Clinton finds
the Lindbergh baby the identity of Jack the Ripper.

Putting a Vision into Action! Many visits to our children's houses and witnessing their situations have brought up many chaotic thoughts for SCC's staff in the Child Development Programme team. We would like to share our thoughts with you in this newsletter so that you could somehow understand why we carry on with our work with heart and passion, as always. Poverty is a repeating cycle of poor - no schooling – no job – no income – no chance to think about schooling – poor. If there is nothing that can be done to break this circle, poverty will be a pre-determined destiny for a part of the population for generations. The poor would have already set their minds on being poor and would be able to do nothing to escape from it.
In many families, parents and children are aware that learning and education brings them the opportunity of a brighter future. Vice versa, the children will only earn a low wage for their manual labour if they do not have a decent level of education, and that work is very unstable. However, the parents themselves have to think back and forth and are reluctant to choose between using their small income for living or for their children's tuition fees. It is surely a very difficult decision for them to make!
There are always obstacles we must overcome when we are doing our jobs. If we could see them as small hurdles to overcome in order to achieve our bigger goal – to help children out of poverty with education- we would gain more energy to carry on with our work.
Our Child Development Programme provides long-term support for our children. Our support will be with them until they tell us "I have got a job" or "I have just signed a permanent contract with my company". That will be a time we feel happy and proud for them. They will feel more confident and can stand on their own feet from that moment.
On the journey to carry out the mission "Eliminating poverty through education", the sentiment below from one of our children embodies our courage and "fire" within our team: "…I have finished the book named "How to stop worrying and start living". I only read it once; but surely, I will read it again and take notes as well.From the last gathering, when I found out that graduates would receive a book, I was so excited. When I knew which book it was, I was even happier. I felt like it was there just waiting for me. It was decorated with a red ribbon as well. I looked at it all the time! I was truly in love with it!Currently, I am a bit busy with my internship, so I spend less time reading it. There are also some problems in my life, so they bother me more. Just right at that moment, I pick up the book and continue reading, the paragraph is like the exact answer to my problems for me…That is very meaningful!I will train myself not to worry too much. I promise you that…Thank you very much! I wish you and all SCC's staff would have health and happiness from whatever you are doing!"
To us, every day of work is a happy day. We always receive good news from our children such as: "I have got an offer from a Japanese IT company with 2-year contract and monthly salary of 7 million VND!" One student, Hoang Minh, wrote to us: "I can do it, I can change my life".

Welcome back to online Bible Study for Women. This week at the Womens Bible Cafe™ we're discussing Week Two from the "Entrusted" study by Beth Moore. We're glad you pushed through the first week and continued your study to learn and grow. Beth reminds us on page 60 in the study book that "Thinking you lack what it takes to be a great student of Scripture will lower your level of participation." We saw a few women struggle the first week and we saw many women in our small groups encourage them and help them not quit. I had a similar experience on my first Bible study and I'm forever grateful that a friend said "If you quit now then Satan wins." Sometimes we need encouragement and the only way we find it is through being vulnerable and telling someone how we feel. Reach out to your small group leaders or a friend if you are struggling and ask for help to get back on track. We know with 100% certainty that you will be blessed as you learn and grow spiritually.
As we discover our role in mentoring or being mentors, Beth warns us that "Spiritual daughters are not meant to look and sound like their spiritual mothers." She reiterates that our calling is unique to our spiritual equipping and we cannot model the work and history of another disciple. As ambassadors for Christ we carry our own story of faith, redemption, grace, love. While mentors provide encouragement and prayer, they are not creating opportunities to clone their work. God will not honor work that is not designed by Him, through you. We are called to reflect Christ and not our mentors.
Study. Connect. Grow.

Your WBC small group leaders may use some or all of these discussion questions this week.
- In 2 Timothy 1:3 Paul is grateful for serving with a clear conscience. Given his past history of persecuting Christians, it's a HUGE statement! Why is it better to serve God with a clear conscience instead of a guilty conscience? (page 47)
- Beth says she asked God to give her a "supernatural love" for the people she serves. Why do you think this is important for your calling? (page 56)
- On a scale of 1 to 10 with 1 being "I barely notice how other Christians act," and 10 being "I'm totally mortified by how some Christians act,' how on target is this for you? Share your number. (page 61)
- Beth writes, "The enemy doesn't have to tempt us into some heinous sin to render us ineffective. All he has to do is bet high on our low threshold for embarrassment." What boundaries can you set to personally strengthen your embarrassment threshold? How can you avoid becoming THAT person who embarrasses others for the benefit of the Satan? (Page 62)
- This week we examined Paul's doctrine of grace: "a favor done without expectation of return." How else would you describe grace? (page 64)
- On day five Beth Moore introduces the topic of spiritual refreshers, "Servants of God to the scorched and thirsty." When is the last time someone refreshed you spiritually? How did she/he do this? (page 75)
- Beth writes, "What we won't let God access will eventually abscess." Are you denying God access with an unspoken longing? Share if you are willing and we will pray over you right now. If too personal, just type the words "pray for me." (page 76)
- Onesiphous the "refresher" chased every lead until he found the man he was looking for. Have you ever searched for someone with such passion? Did you find him or her, or are you still searching now? (page 77)
- JOURNAL: Take a look at 1 Peter 4:4 NLT which says "…your former friends are surprised when you no longer plunge into the flood of wild and destructive things they do. So they slander you." How does it feel when you are slandered? Have you ever slandered your friends? Journal your thoughts.
- ACTIVITY: Christian band DC Talk has song called "Jesus Freak." The words include "What will people think when they hear that I'm a Jesus Freak? " Ask two friends your version of this question and listen to their answers.
- ACTIVITY: On the bottom on page 75 Beth Moore refers to "refreshers' in your life. Set a plan to honor them sometime before the end of this year. It could be as simple as a heartfelt card or a face-to-face meeting
- ACTIVITY: Handwrite the spiritual refreshers from the top margin on page 76.
- ACTIVITY: Confess your sins and repent. Ask the Holy Spirit to give you a clear conscience.
Praying for illumination of your calling as we complete this study together! I'll see you in the small groups this week!

I found this hummingbird and a big fat spider in a web with the bird quite drained and could not believe my eyes! How does a spider kill a hummingbird?
sort by best latest
Well the answer, obviously, is 'yes, they do.' But you already know this. So far as the 'how' goes, it has to do with the tensile strength of the spider's web, and its location, location, location. Then lastly, the spider's venom must be sufficient to kill the hummingbird. But then again, I suppose, were one trapped in the web sufficiently it would die just the same after a time.
More specifically, I think the spider, depending upon where you live, most likely to kill hummingbirds is what we call the 'big yellow garden spider.' These types of spiders can grow to be very large for an American spider. The are benign and beneficial in many ways. But the way they like to position themselves in relation to a local ecosystem allows for their large webs to sometimes entrap a hummingbird. And so it goes.

I saw the spider & it was grey, I think I got a photo but haven't had time to really look for it yet & though it was large I don't think much if any more than thumb size. I didn't know for a fact it killed it. I supposed something else could
Oh! Jackie, I would be so upset to see a pretty little hummingbird dead in a nasty spider's web! As if I don't hate spiders enough. I have a hummingbird feeder in the yard and those cuties entertain me. I tear down, brush away and otherwise destroy any & all webs on or around my home!
And Wesman, I don't care how damned benign and beneficial spiders are! What benefits? Never mind. I don't want to know! LOL

I agree Paula, and I would have murdered this one but by the time I had finished taking photos she was long gone but I will be checking back in that area!

MONTREAL -- Nine years after smoking was banned in Quebec's bars and restaurants, business owners are vowing to fight the government over extending the law to patios.
"It's nice to say we're going to ban smoking, but where are we going to put these people?" Renaud Poulin, president of Quebec's largest bar owner's association, told The Montreal Gazette.
"On the sidewalk? It's going to cause us a heck of a lot of trouble with the neighbours."
According to Poulin, business is still down 17% since Quebec banned smoking in bars and restaurants in 2006.
"On the health level, I don't want go too much into detail right now, but we did research and there are specialists who say that second-hand smoke outside buildings is crying wolf for nothing, to scare people," he said.
On Thursday, Premier Philippe Couillard said he was looking to curb tobacco use throughout the province with new laws that will be revealed next week. Alongside the patio ban, the proposed new law will ban flavoured tobaccos and making it illegal to smoke in a car with a child inside.

Each year, men are increasingly more interested in penis enhancement with the use of natural, safe and effective enchancement method - manual method. Even though manual methods are more than 3000 years old, reference medical literature does not provide any scientific research on the use of the methods.
I have been practising as physician - sexologist for over 15 years (since late 90's) and I have used manual penis enlargement method in my practice. During my practice as physician, on the basis of professional experience and by summarising the most effective manual method exercises, I have come up with augeotensive method.
The augeotensive method involves specific penis massage. By increasing the pressure in tissue and stretching it, penis tissue cell multiplication process is stimulated. As a result, dimensional enhancement is achieved in both calm and aroused state. During my professional career, I have performed around thousand penis enhancement procedures and provided numerous consultations on opportunities for natural penis enhancement for men not only from Latvia, but also from Lithuania, Estonia, Ukraine and Russia.
In June 2015, I commenced a clinical study about penis enhancement opportunities with the use of manual (augeotensive) method.
Research goal: determine penis enhancement opportunities with the use of manual method.
Research time frame: 2015 - 2016
Research description: research sample consists of 12 - 15 men between the ages of 19 and 27 wishing to increase penis dimensions with the use of manual (augeotensive method).
Anthropological measurements were performed prior to the commencement of the study: height, weight, anogenital size, penis size in non-aroused and aroused state (length and circumference), penis size in stretched state.
Each male involved in the study shall complete a monthly penis enhancement procedure course (14 procedures). Penis measurements shall be repeated after completion of the procedure course and the obtained enhancement results shall be summarised.
Expected results: after the completion of the course, it is expected that for 90% of the men penis dimensions in aroused state will have increased by 0.5 - 1 cm (length and thickness).
At the same time with the increase of penis dimensions, sexual activity of the men involved in the study is also assessed along with its effect on the penis enhancement process. It will be interesting to find out whether the research results will present a correlation between the anogenital size and penis size and/or enhancement process.
Here you will find more detailed information about the course of the study - about measurements, procedures and obtained results.
The first clinical study about penis enhancement with the use of manual (augeotensive) enhancement method!

Peter Girguis, PhD is John L. Loeb Associate Professor of Natural Sciences at Harvard University and an Adjunct Research Engineer at the Monterrey Bay Aquarium Research Institute. His research focuses on the ecological physiology of microbes that live in extreme environments, to better understand the role they play in mediating deep ocean carbon and nitrogen cycling. He is particularly interested in the physiological and biochemical adaptations (adaptive traits) to life in anaerobic environments. His research lies at the intersection of biology and geochemistry, and he develops and uses a variety of tools (high-pressure systems to mimic natural environments, in situ mass spectrometers, in situ microbial fuel cells) to address the aforementioned issues.
Professor Girguis received his Ph.D. from the University of California Santa Barbara, where he worked with Dr. James Childress on the physiological and biochemical adaptation of deep sea hydrothermal vent tubeworms and their microbial symbionts to the vent environment. He did postdoctoral research at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute with Dr. Edward Delong on the growth and population dynamics of anaerobic methanotrophs.

Ugh...the way I see it...forget about the Specification4 stuff. Make yourself a Schema.ini file and place that there instead. You can setup whatever structure you like that way. You just need to make sure the Schema.ini file (which is a simple text file) is located where your csv text files are located.
See Access help regarding the Schema.ini file and the TransferText method.
(just my opinion though)

Show me: Racism!
When asked by Family Feud host Steve Harvey to name "something you know about zombies," contestant Christie jumped on the buzzer only to find that she didn't actually have an answer readily available when she was called on. After an awkward second of silence, with eyes darting back and forth in search of something to offer, Christie blurted out the first thing that came to mind.
"Black," she shrugged.
"They're black. Okay," Harvey muttered, looking off to one side.
The room got pretty strange after that, and amazingly, while Christie probably should have said that it was just random association, she doubled down.
"I don't know if they're white, or I … " she trailed off.
That's profiling, Christie.
It was pretty hilarious, and no, her answer was not on the Family Feud board.

Anybody got a Slow Stick with airlerons?
I am building my second slow stick and I think I would like to make the wing straight(or straighter) and add airlerons. I recall seeing someone else do it, but I couldn't find it.
If anyone has, how did it fly? Better/worse? I like a plane to bank when I turn and I plan on carrying a camera so I think it would be easier to circle a area that I am shooting.
Try running a query on "Boomerace: Father of the SlowStick". If anyone was able to make it work, it was him.
from what I understand, it isnt simply a matter of installing ailerons. You must also brace the wing to prevent it from twisting when you use them.
I have seen 3 people say they did it and it works, I have seen many many more say it didnt work, or it didnt work well enough to leave it installed.
"I make things do what I want them to,The hell with what they were designed to do."
I tried it and saw no advantage, in fact there appeared to be significant disadvantage ranging from additional weight to lack of control authority to reductions in the structural integrity of the wing.
The plane just does not need ailerons. I found much greater gains by stiffening the tail and by increasing the size of the rudder. I also found significant improvement in control response by moving the servos closer to the tail where very short control rods could be used.
Overall, I found that functional ailerons added a large degree of complexity for no measureable gain.
Similarly, I found that flattening the wing's dihedral angles made the plane "twitchy" in the air, and much more susceptible to what amounted to tip stalls. To keep every thing stable with the flattened wing I had to fly at much higher speeds and that had a cost in much reduced battery life. It seemed to wipe out all of the things that I bought a slow stick for in the first place. If you want fast and aerobatic, there are much better platforms available. Slow Sticks seems to be best when flying slow.
And to add insult to injury, it cost me $20 for a new wing just to find all of that out.
Last edited by Herleman; May 18, 2004 at 09:10 PM.
Well you sold me! I appreciate the detailed, honest response. On another post someone said they made the tail section out of coroplast. I think this is the corrogated plastic they make cheap signs out of? What new shape would you make the rudder if starting from scratch?
I got ailerons, and wouldn't fly with out them, It makes it so much more agile, I can put it in flat spins, and what not, that the normal version can not do, it doesn't roll well, but it does roll, I cut about 1 inch more out than they show as ailerons and they span the full wing. Try it, another wing is only like 20-15 bucks, all my friends slow sticks just can't hang, They all have converted to ailerons, I also have them set up as flaps, very cool I can walk faster than it flys with them down and it makes for 6 inch takeoffs, kinda cool also, It is all about fun, and you know how it flys with nothing on the wings, no ailerons, I think it is time to modify, try something different, you might learn something!!!!
What size ailerons did you cut, the stock size? I think with this kinda airfoil, you will need a ton of movement to kill/add lift to each wing, meaning you'll need a huge aileron to make a effective surface to use as a aileron, I tried a couple of sizes and the bigger the better so far, The Leading edge of my aileron is 1 or 2 inches in front of the ailerons they show to cut out and span the full wingspan,( I am also using 45-60 degrees of throw in the movement of them) I think this also helps in the slow speed flight, as some of the aileron is in the prop wash helping theit effectiveness, but MINE WORK GREAT!!!!!!!!! I just wish this thing flew as well inverted, there is always some drawback to these airfiols, but they fly great as intended!!! Upright and slow. I fly mine inside alot and the added agility is really helpfull avoiding other aircraft and walls.

Vol. 9, No. 3, July, 1968
Behavior: An Introduction to Comparative Psychology. John
B. Watson (Introduction by R. J. Herrnstein). New York:
Holt, Rinehart & Winston, 1967.
The University of Calgary
This book, a reprint of the 1914 volume which was Watson's
first book, disinters again from its mouldy wrappings the often
harrassed spectre of John B. Watson's place in the history of
North American psychology. Was he, as Gustav Bergmann
(1956) has suggested, second only to Freud as "the most
important figure in the history of psychological thought during
the first half of the century?" Or was A. A. Roback
(1937, 1964) closer to the truth in dismissing Watsonian Behaviorism
as a "rah-rah technique" which "made a big noise"
which was "not substantiated by deeds?" Or was Watson, as
other writers have suggested, simply a footnote to Functionalism?
Herrnstein, in his introduction, discusses Watson as the
heir of Darwin, Sechenov, and Pavlov, and as the progenitor
of Tolman, Hull, and Skinner. There is an interesting, but
unfortunately brief, discussion by Herrnstein of the thesis that
the "special problem" of Behaviorism was 'purpose.' The
strong reactions of the early behaviorists against teleological
explanations is an interesting phenomenon, mirroring the reaction
of Newtonian mechanics against the teleology of Aristotelian
physics, and leading to Hull's attempt to duplicate the
Newtonian system in the animate world. Even here, of course,
controversy arises since most historians of psychology have
seen the introspective method as the central problem of Behaviorism
(Boring, 1950, 1953). Alternatively, Bergmann (1956)
has seen Watson's main thesis to be "that there are no interacting
One can only wish that Herrnstein's introduction might have
been longer. Its brevity has, in my opinion, resulted in some
rather misleading statements. An...

text: I started playing a market-installed game called Slide it! on my phone, when the game froze. I pulled the battery and restarted, and now my phone is stuck in a boot loop. I suspect that the game is causing the problem. Unfortunately, the boot loop is stuck at the first "HTC Incredible" screen, so I can't boot it into Safe Mode to try uninstalling the game. I've tried a factory reset and that doesn't fix it, so now I'm at a loss for what to do. I'm thinking about taking it to Verizon to see if they can fix it, but 1) my phone is rooted (I changed the boot screen to the INCredible rEVOlution one) and 2) it's had water damage before (about two weeks ago, but has been working fine since then), so the indicators are red. Any suggestions as to what to do?

US Dollars with Some Fresh Fundamentals For Next Trading Hours!!!
Last week trades watched that that worlds biggest Economies currency (US Dollar) ruined by the most of its counterpart due to sovereign credit rating fear along with lackluster interest rate prospects, On top of it Fed Chairman Mr Ben Bernanke dovish stance regarding US economy with critical notes over the future monetary were sufficient matters to keep the Dollar down. In deed these risks remain weighed to the downside in the week ahead.
So traders needs to focus over on ongoing debt negotiations and implications for the probability of a deal on the debt ceiling rather than the economic calendar as the top rating agencies Moody's and Standard & Poor's closely watching the situation and thinking to downgrade the US sovereign credit rating.
Euro Fundamentals for Next Week Trading Hours
Although the European policy makers are kept busy for the appropriate measure to save them from binary options demo affairs since last year. These measurements really worked for them as we see the Euro zone able to keep their interest rate up. But still the Euro zones crisis are still not over and still contain the crumbling situation.
Few week back, the dominate European issues grow very rapidly, issues like Greek, Portugal, Italy and Ireland despite of the extra efforts the policy makers had made.
Although in the coming week the trouble related to sovereign ratings downgrades will continue to dominate the financial headlines of euro zone but it's expected that influence will likely taper off. Because these issues already digested by the market.
But maybe we see some adjustments in shape of bailout packages as ECB is also quiet reluctant in its rule and regulation for the sake of effected countries. So my dear mt4 forex broker focus should make over some bailout discussions for these countries.
The great and most positive thing has happened in the shape of result of EU stress test result. " This second attempt to review of the 90 important banks from the Europe and plus UK region as well encouraged groans when it was reported that only 8 banks (5 Spanish, 2 Greek and 1 Austrian) for a total need of 2.5 billion Euros. This was the much better result after the first stress test left 7 banks with a failing grade and tab to raise 3.5 billion Euros".
But over and above the most important consideration for Europe would be the liquidity trouble which directly makes the impact of Euro zones financial health. That's why for the investor's huge concern must be fallout for further sovereign downgrades. On other hand if Greek problem would not resolve within time the Euro could be under pressure.
So the wave of uncertainty regarding Euro is still exist, But my dear forex traders however does not guarantee selling pressure because the it's major counterpart a US dollar also in huge problem as I already discuss the threat of a US sovereign downgrade or acceptance of QE3 catches traction, In this case the euro will suddenly fill the role of liquid alternative.
British Pound for Next Week Trading Hours
The British Pound found strong support as I indicated in my GBP/USD over Fridays analysis. However the Bank of England that it would leaves the rates on hold until unlimited period in order to focus on their economic growth. So by watching the UK inflationary reports and on other hand policy makers not willing to be flexible about the rate hike we may see some immense pressure over the British pound.
Although in the past week the British pound performed better against the US dollar. But it was the Dollars own weakness because the British data was more softer than expected like core producer price index reading down to 3.2 percent from 3.4 percent, while the retail price index fell to 5.0 percent, short of the 5.2 percent expectation, housing sector and labor market also showed signs of fragility, with the DCLG reading of United Kingdom House Prices contracting by 1.6 percent
The British pound direction will be confirmed after the Bank of England minutes from their most recent Monetary Policy Committee are due on Wednesday. The most important will be the commentary in case of dovish stance by policy makers due to inflationary factor the sterling could be in bearish direction.

Will we be notified if our trap has been hit or we hit someone with a grenade or bullet? I would find it really amusing to not know if we hit anything at all. Imagine getting bombarded with bullets and explosives for your opponent to find out after running up to you... you are not hurt at all!
Please add any other notifications you would like to see in the game ( even if obvious ones ) or wouldn't like to see!
Good thread. We would like to hear the community's thoughts on this as well. However, having no hit/dmg notifications could effect some achievements.
I personally like CS:GO's system where any audio cues for bullet impacts are picked up based on proximity. Blood spray would also be a visual indication.
If you've ever played on a modded Rust server, the hit sound it pretty nice, if there is going to be a hit marker (Hopefully not) I would vouch for that one.
Me personally i like markers even just a small one.. Audio cues i like the proximity idea but if you can hear impact then id prefer a marker orIf no markers maybe a visual cue? Like the players character winces or somthing to show it hit.. If your not paying attention youd miss that you hit but if your watching you can see the bullet wince and ergo a visual hit 'marker'
I think the style of this game is more focused on (Unlike COD) large scale realism, I think adding in any sort of hit marker would change the feel of the game dramatically, shooting someone should feel something like Rust or ARMA.IMO
Besides, you know if they're dead if they stop shooting
I agree, I've never liked the idea of hitmarkers. Like, so what? You hit someone? If they're not dead, keep shooting. Am I right?
Yeah, I'm completely on board with "In world" markers like blood spray and audio cues, as that would be realistic. Anything beyond that I'm not in favor of.
It's possible that people would be split either way on preferences like this. Maybe a hardcore mode to include this?
I like hit markers and grenade indicators like the Modern Warfare games. Black Ops' have lag behind there's and it's not in my favor. Then there's Halo, and I like how they do it too...
I would just want it to "feel right."
This is a game with limited ammo, correct? Spraying and praying, and sniping a prine body. Those are 2 examples of you never knowing if you got lucky or made a precise shot and the enemy died.
Well that would be your choice to make sure enemy isnt dead, or by just shooting and leaving.
I personally prefer not getting any obvious hit markers like CoD, even though they could be explained because of the alien technology. I like the idea of blood spraying instead of a hit marker. I also wouldn't like any text feedback on the kills that you or someone else has, it has a much greater appeal to me to only know who as died by occasional announcements. If anything I could accept that you can look at who or how many you have killed by looking at your inventory for instance.
Bringing in another topic from another forum, the proximity voice chat could act as its own hit marker.
Of course the other player would need a mic, but what better hit marker than "aahhhh, what the fuck"
So your saying like an insurgency thing almost? Like when your running and someone shoots you your marine is like "owww fuck!" And then you get a little spray of blood. Really I would prefere a spray of blood and a voice cue.
I like rust's system. A hitsound for a body shot, a different hitsound for a headshot.
I like the hitmarks, like in H1Z1, where you get a sound and a marker, and you can hear if its a headshoot or not, but hitmark/sound on nades an what not, I'm not a fan of that.
I didn't want to make another topic as i think this still falls in this category.--As people said blood would be a cue, do you guys agree or disagree that if someone doesnt properly heal up that you should be able to track them seeing the blood on the ground if they ran away? Or maybe in the futuristic map can have an item where you see their exact foot prints?
Bullet impact on body, i want these things.
I do not like hit markers, maybe a flash of red on the suit maybe?
notifications should be done in batches by a announcer.
Having consistent hot mics would add an element of realism to the game, but that is bad and good. You can't silence everything around you at all times. Would completely negate any sort of stealth attempts because, for instance a dog is barking, or you have loud roommates or something. It's definitely a cool idea, just not sure if it is a feasible one.

In just over a week from now, on Sunday, Sept. 29, the First United Methodist Church in Cynthiana is going to celebrate its 195th anniversary. In five years, of course, the church will be celebrating its bicentennial, a major milestone for any church to celebrate.
Earlier this week, I interviewed Bro. Mike Coppersmith and former Cynthiana Mayor Virgie Wells, who serves as the church historian, about the church's history and to find out how the congregation planned to celebrate this event. It will be a feature story for next week, so be looking for it.
By Morgan Bretland, FFA Reporter
Jim Milam's resignation as deputy director of Harrison County Parks and Recreation was officially accepted at the regular meeting of the department's board Monday night.
Milam said that he appreciated the time in which he served as deputy director, but that he felt it was time to move on. His resignation will be effective two weeks from this coming Friday, Sept. 13.
Renovation of the historic Harrison County Courthouse is moving forward.
By a 7-1 vote, with Magistrate Bradley Copes the sole dissenting vote, the Harrison County Fiscal Court approved a motion to move forward with plans for the renovation of the courthouse.
Renovations will be based upon design specifications submitted to fiscal court members last July.
Discussion of the courthouse renovation was an added agenda item which Judge Executive Alex Barnett introduced following the conclusion of new business items.
Cynthiana Code Enforcement board chairman Mike Aldridge asked the Cynthiana City Commission to consider making its ordinance for violators more strict.
"The frustrations are that we have dealt with the same people, the same homes and we've seen no progress," Aldridge said.
The code enforcement board recommended that fines for violations be increased from $25 to $50 for first offenses. Other fines would also be increased.
The fifth annual Writers' Conference opening session will feature one of central Kentucky's most outstanding journalists, Tom Eblen, Lexington Herald-Leader columnist. The class, "Words in the Universe" will begin Friday, Sept. 27, at 4 p.m. at the Licking Valley Campus.
Michael May was the champion of a special race last spring. It was a race in which everyone was a winner and May was given the unique opportunity to express thanks to God for the life he was given by giving life to someone else.
May was barely 3-months-old when he gave his parents the scare of a lifetime. He began having difficulty breathing, a result of a condition called hydrocephalus, and had to be airlifted to the University of Kentucky Hospital for emergency surgery that saved his life.

The GOP Presidential debate in Ames was one of the feistiest in recent memory. There were several verbal sparring matches and the Fox News moderators grilled all the candidates on previous stances and statements. It made for a fascinating two hours and set the stage for a climactic Ames Straw Poll on Saturday.
TheIowaRepublican.com live blogged the event last night, which you can view by clicking here.
TIR's Craig Robinson and Kevin Hall breakdown how each candidate fared and pick the debate winners and losers:
(Kevin) Michele Bachmann: She entered the debate as the Iowa frontrunner, due mainly to her performance in the New Hampshire debate two months ago. Bachmann's failed to follow-up on that success. Tim Pawlenty went on the attack and was able to poke some holes in Bachmann's record and rhetoric.
She was not the aggressor this time and seemed less poised than the previous debate. Instead of criticizing Mitt Romney, which she needed to do, Bachmann spent a great deal of time fending off Pawlenty and Rick Santorum, who are both way behind her in the polls. She failed to solidify her frontrunner status, so it was not a good night for Michele Bachmann.
(Craig) Michele Bachmann: Bachmann had the most to lose of anybody last night. She got a bit banged up, but survived it pretty well. However, she couldn't match her stellar performance from the CNN debate. Bachmann was like a ship in harbor. She took shots from Pawlenty and Santorum, and so was limited in her ability to go on the offensive.
Her tussle with Pawlenty was entertaining, but it also made people uncomfortable. The exchange was too personal, and as the Iowa frontrunner, getting in a mudslinging contest is something you want avoid. The attacks by Pawlenty probably galvanized her supporters, but the attacks from Santorum may peel some social conservatives away from her. Bachmann was obviously treated like the Iowa frontrunner last night. She survived, but took a lot of bullets.
(Kevin) Herman Cain: The Georgia businessman was overshadowed for the most part. His answers on immigration and taxes were good, but viewers were reminded of his controversial comments about Muslims and Mormons, as well as his lack of knowledge on the foreign policy. The debate was a mixed bag for Cain.
(Craig) Herman Cain: At times Herman Cain's charm and personality were in full display. However, while the other candidates were sparring, Cain also faded away. Cain is incredible when he can talk generalities, but you need specifics if you are going to challenge another candidate. His lack of knowledge and depth on many issues is holding him back.
(Kevin) Newt Gingrich: The former House speaker was fired up and had a terrific debate. Substance on the issues has always been his forte and Newt showed that. He was also combative with the moderators, demanding they ask substantive questions. The audience responded very strongly to that. Gingrich showed a fire and passion that conservatives are longing for. He would utterly dismantle Barack Obama in a one-on-one debate. It was a terrific performance.
(Craig) Newt Gingrich: Gingrich may not have much of a campaign in Iowa, but his grasp of history and his ability to reference it in some of his answers is incredible. Gingrich may be the winner of last night's debate, but unfortunately, he's not participating in Saturday's Straw Poll mainly due to a lack of resources. That means he will be unable to parlay his debate performance into an event that could turn his campaign around.
The best moment of the debate came when Gingrich took Fox News Anchor Chris Wallace to task. Doing so was risky, but Gingrich came off as the most serious candidate on the stage last night.
(Kevin) Jon Huntsman: Who? I barely even noticed he was there. Dismal performance.
(Craig) Jon Huntsman: Huntsman was solid in his first debate. We now know exactly what he brings to the table as a candidate – not much. As a former Ambassador, one would expect him to own the foreign policy segment of the debate. He didn't. Santorum did. Huntsman doesn't have anything on the line in Iowa, but he needed to break out and failed to do so.
(Kevin) Ron Paul: The Texas Congressman delivered stronger performances in the first two debates. He stumbled a couple times on his answers, searching for the right words. Mainstream Republicans are more accepting of some of Paul's views, but I think he lost them again with his refusal to view Iran as a threat. Paul's fans will defend him to the end, but I don't think he expanded his base any.
(Craig) Ron Paul: It is always difficult to assign grades to Congressman Ron Paul since he plays by his own rules, and conventional wisdom seems not to apply to him. Still Ron Paul had a solid debate. His back and forth with Santorum was good for him, as the debate seemed to focus on the two of them for a bit last night. Paul always stands firm on what he believes, and he did so in this debate. Paul is a pretty galvanizing figure, so he probably made his supporters like him even more, and his detractors dislike him even more.
(Kevin) Tim Pawlenty: This might have been the highlight of Pawlenty's campaign. He needed to take the fight to Bachmann and Romney, and the former Minnesota Governor did precisely that. I think he won his exchange with Bachmann, based largely on the fact that she is the frontrunner and he successfully hammered her lack of accomplishments. Pawlenty might have angered some with his verbal attacks, but he needed a performance like this. For everyone waiting for T-Paw to show some passion, they finally got their wish.
(Craig) Tim Pawlenty: Everyone knew that Pawlenty needed to be more aggressive in this debate, and he did not disappoint. Over all, I think Pawlenty had a decent night. He handled the question about "Obomney-care" well, but it seemed like he was working too hard when he made his lawn-mowing joke about Romney.
Likewise it was good that he was willing to confront Bachmann, but at times he seemed to be a little over the top.
Pawlenty said of Bachmann, "She led the effort against Obamacare, we got Obamacare. She led the effort against TARP, we got TARP. She said she's got a titanium spine, it's not her spine we're worried about, it's her record of results. If that's your view of effective leadership and results, please stop because you're killing us."
To suggest that Bachmann alone could have stopped those things is absurd. Pawlenty scores points for finally being aggressive, but in doing so, he had to get a little dirty. Having a mud-wrestling contest two days before the Straw Poll probably isn't a good thing.
(Kevin) Mitt Romney: The national frontrunner flew completely under the radar, which means good news for him. A few of the candidates took some shots at Romney, but they failed to deliver significant damage. Right now, Bachmann is his only threat in the race and she avoided tangling with the former Massachusetts Governor. Romney is ignoring the Ames Straw Poll, so he did not need to score any points in this debate. He was barely visible during the second hour, which was probably fine by him.
(Craig) Mitt Romney: As the national frontrunner, Romney walked out of the debate unscathed. Most of Romney's answers were about fiscal issues, but he advocated strongly for a federal marriage amendment. As the debate progressed, Romney seemed to fade into the background. At this point, he's kind of just along for the ride. There is no need to engage when Bachmann and Pawlenty are busy throwing mud at each other and nobody is throwing mud at you.
(Kevin) Rick Santorum: He was completely ignored for most of the first hour, but Santorum shined brightly when given the chance. Whether you agree with Santorum or not, there is no question where he stands on every issue. Santorum capably validated his strong pro-life stance and reminded Iowans he campaigned for the ouster of the three Supreme Court justices last November. Santorum landed solid shots on Ron Paul and Michele Bachmann and solidified his social conservative credentials. It was a good night for Rick Santorum.
(Craig) Rick Santorum: Santorum needed a breakout performance in the debate, and for the first half hour, it seemed like he wasn't even going to get the opportunity to even speak. Santorum did a good job of picking his spots to go on the offensive. His back and forth interaction with Ron Paul is some of the best actual debatie we have seen. It wasn't personal, just an honest political difference.
As the debate went on, Santorum was able to gain attention and creditability by taking on Ron Paul on foreign policy issues, but he also landed a couple shots on Bachmann. The national media might not notice Santorum's debate performance, but at least he saved his best debate performance for the lead into the Straw Poll.
Kevin's Picks
Winners: Gingrich, Santorum, Pawlenty and Fox News
Losers: Huntsman and Bachmann
Craig's Picks
1. Gingrich
2. Santorum
3. Pawlenty
4. Bachmann

WFU Drone Aircraft Provides a New Look at the Duke Energy Coal Ash Spill
A team of researchers and students at Wake Forest University are providing a new view of the Duke Energy coal ash spill in Rockingham County.
They created a drone aircraft to capture aerial images of the company's coal ash pond. On February 7, they attached two cameras to take high resolution images and video of the spill. Miles Silman, a biology professor at the university, explains how the technology helped create a 3D model of the coal ash impoundment.
Silman says researchers used Google images of the coal ash pond before the spill to make the comparisons and calculations. They estimate that 16 to 20 million gallons of ash and water spilled out of the pond on Feb. 2, with up to 15 million gallons being released in subsequent days.
A video of their high-resolution model depicts where ash washed out from the pond basin and where the water line was when the pond emptied.
Max Messinger is a biology graduate student who built the drone for the project. He used foam and other simple materials to make the airplane. It has a six feet wing span and weighs about eight pounds. Messinger says his team wanted to provide an independent, third party assessment of the spill.
He would like to see drones like his used to monitor similar incidents in the future.
Silman says his research team at Wake Forest University has released all of their observations and data from the coal ash pond to Duke Energy. The information has also been released to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the North Carolina Department of Environmental Resources, the Southern Environmental Law Center, The North Carolina River Keepers, and the Dan River Basin Association.
