Crystal City: Tabithas Rescue chapters 7 + 8
Published by fantasy girl in the blog fantasy girl's blog. Views: 96
Chapter 7
It was a long and strenuous walk to where the queen was being held captive. All different kinds of terrain, sand, bog, off road and gravel. All up hill down hill. round this round that. But then, after days of constant walking, tom saw it, hell mansion the home of Randell the evil sorcerer.
It was a tall dark building that lent slightly to the right, with windows so small you couldn't even fit your hand through. There was always a cloud hanging around the roof top as the house was so tall. It was in the center of a thick, dense forest with a 6ft black wooden fence round the garden.
The garden was dead, with brown grass and dying wilting trees. In the center of the garden there was a path, with the only living thing in the garden on it, a tarantula it must have been about the size of an Av bit of paper. It was huge. You could see every last hair standing up on its back and right in the corner of the porch was its web. It was so big that tom could of sat on it.
Tom was terrified then he remembered what dexter told him ' you can do any thing if you put your mind to it.' this gave tom the strength to do what he needed to do and get out of there. So off he went to do his job and save his mum, but the second he stepped in the garden, he new something was wrong.
One of the spells tom was taught was a teleporting spell. You did this by closing your eyes and thinking where you want to go or who you want to be with. Tom did just that.
He closed his eyes and thought to himself that he wanted to be with the queen, and when he opened his eyes he was stood in-front of her. 'Q-Q-Q-Queen T-T-Tabitha,' he stuttered 'is t-t-that y-y-you?'
'yes my son, it is, you've come to save me, the prophecy is complete' said who tom thought was queen Tabitha, until she said the word 'prophecy'. Because from then her voice got lower and she started to change shape. 'R-R-R-Randell, what have you done with queen Tabitha?' screamed tom.
'what, that old hag, who calls herself queen'
'excuse me, that 'old hag' is my mother, the queen of crystal city and because you are holding her hostage, theoretically I have the right to kill you, what you've done is high treason Randell, and I'm not letting you get away with it, now where is she?'
' I'm not telling you, ner-nicky-ner-ner.'
' Shamus your lamus, now tell me where she is,' tom shouted while Randell was floating in mid air ' I could easily rip you apart, joint by joint until you tell me where she is. SO TELL ME!' he continued
'I'm not tell.....' Randell said
' I said, tell me; NOW!' butted in tom
'o-o-o-o-o-k-k-k-k-k, ok ill tell you, but on 1 condition, you get me down.' stuttered Randell
' you tell me, I get you down. Simple.'
' she is on room 72-72 on floor 6' replied Randell' as tom slowly hung Randell on the spike above the mantel piece and removed the wand from Randell's pocket.
' curse you kid, I new I shouldn't of trusted you'
tom ran, he ran so fast that he could barely breath. He got to the 6th floor but their was no room 7272, he looked again, and again. But no, it only went up to 74, so he thought ' maybe it was room 72, and he just repeated himself.' so he looked in room 72 and before his eyes was the most beautiful woman he'd ever seen.
She had long blond flowing hair and beautiful clear, sea blue eyes. With luscious red lips, Rosie red cheeks and the cutest button nose you could ever imagine.
'Q-Q-Q-Queen Tabitha, is that you? But your...'
'don' ask questions, just give you mum a big hug. Oh, and can you untie me please.'
'yeah sure, your highness' replied tom
'well I bet your wondering, how can I be your biological mother when I don't look old enough to even buy a can of red bull. Well the answer is, when your king or queen in crystal city, you don't age you can still have children but your looks do not change' tom was still in shock from seeing his mum, so young and beautiful so he just untied her and stood their with his mouth wide open.
Chapter 8
soon after the two arrived back at crystal city tom was crowned king. He had a 24 karat gold crown embedded with diamonds, rubies, and emeralds. Of course in the real world Tom is no longer in a coma unfortunately he passed away a few days after going into the coma. His family and friends miss him dearly and would do anything to have him back but he has a better life here.
Some of you may of guessed, I am Tom. A forty year old man, married to Dexter's daughter Cindy. With two children; Samantha (who is current queen of crystal city) and Stephan who is getting married tomorrow.
And well for Randell, he hung on that spike for many a year until the construction workers went to knock his come down and let him off. But he is an old old man now who is to frail to try any thing like that again. So hear I am. Writing the first of what I hope to be many of my adventures as king of Crystal City.

He's a boy called Jew. Gypsy. Stopthief. Runt. Happy. Fast. Filthy son of Abraham.
He's a boy who lives in the streets of Warsaw. He's a boy who steals food for himself and the other orphans. He's a boy who believes in bread and mothers and angels. He's a boy who wants to be a Nazi someday, with tall, shiny jackboots and a gleaming Eagle hat of his own. Until the day that suddenly makes him change his mind. And when the trains come to empty the Jews from the ghetto of the damned, he's a boy who realizes it's safest of all to be nobody.
Newbery Medalist Jerry Spinelli takes us to one of the most devastating settings imaginable - Nazi-occupied Warsaw of World War II - and tells a tale of heartbreak, hope, and survival through the bright eyes of a young orphan.
©2003 Jerry Spinelli (P)2015 Listening Library
"A moving and inspiring story."
Milkweed is a great book for any one who likes learning about history. Milkweed was very different from other world war 2 books instead of learning by being told facts you are learning through a story of a boy.
"A overall good book"
I somewhat enjoyed the book but it was not the best book I ever read
"Profound and very important work"
I was deeply affected by hearing the unabridged audiobook "Milkweed" (authored by Jerry Spinelli and narrated by Ron Rifkin) which got me to re-examine fundamentals of my life and indeed of the whole human experience. As is usually the case after I ingest a profound work such as this, I have to write about it in order to help me process it.
I am not sure why I picked this book in particular, just wanted something gritty to drown out my nearly ceaseless troublesome thoughts after a particularly difficult holiday visit that left me with lots of worries and confusion. I'd describe the book as a page-turner, for I was riveted - listening when I couldn't sleep from worry, listening upon arising, listening when my troubling thoughts circled inside me again and again...
When I got to the end (which arrived much sooner than I wished) I felt like something in me was changing. Though I'm turning 64 in less than a handful of weeks, I've never been able to endure more than a cursory acknowledgment of the Holocaust - what Wikipedia refers to as the deadliest genocide in history - until this recounting as seen thru the eyes of a foolish and naive little orphan boy.
It reminded me of another extremely racist time I experienced growing up, and led me to watch a difficult movie by Lee Daniels "The Butler", about a black man serving as a White House Butler continuously throughout the tenure of 8 presidents. As with the "Milkweed" book, watching this movie I felt I was changing. Suddenly I found myself on the internet searching for names and events mentioned in the movie. I wanted to remember, to place in the context of my own sometimes fuzzy timeline - those events that happened when I was a scared grade-schooler growing up in the frightening and deadly political climate and events of the early sixties, continuing in the riotous and reactionary bedlam of the late sixties and early seventies when I was a confused radicalized teen and young adult. And fast forwarding to now with universal discontent, unrest and uncertainties of how we will finish the second decade of the new millennium in the aftermath following the tenure of our first black US president.
And now I suddenly query myself: "Does it really take six-going-on-seven decades to process, acknowledge, accept, bring the hidden to the light, and begin to heal from the events that threatened to end my whole world when I was young and completely unequipped to deal with them?"
Well the point of this whole story is to answer that with a "yes" and to say "Thank you Jerry Spinelli, for giving the world this story, thereby allowing me, at least, to experience the world through the eyes of a small open-hearted boy who lived each day raw and uncensored through the entire horrific Holocaust. Looking at a tiny bit of that monstrosity through the boy's little window - is helping me to at last begin tentatively approaching it and other terrible periods of injustice that have laid waste the very soul of humanity - without being completely overwhelmed by its entire immensity. I'll take another bite at it later.
Meanwhile this story helps make ask a lot of questions in order to continue trying to make sense of the big and little bumps in my private life, putting them in perspective to what really matters. It seems I suddenly feel I've been extremely petty, selfishly ungrateful, narrow-mindedly intolerant - and insensitive, after endlessly wallowing in feeling ignored, hurt, unwelcome, disdained, disrespected, dismissed... over what - a few misunderstandings from a little holiday visit? On big or little scales, over the arch of my life - am I so different from my perceived persecutors? Have I not perpetrated the same wrongs without understanding, caring little for anything but my own self defense? Do I not now repeat the same, again and again in the guise of being right, the other in the wrong? Did I not (do I not still) fight for my own survival, my own life-or-death battles to exist whole and free and worthy of all it means to be a precious human being? However true for myself, is this not also true for others? Just as the little boy lived his life in "Milkweed" I vow to better learn and practice the ways of compassion, restraint, respect, and love... until the love of and hope in a young loved one's eyes
silences those voices that tried to tell me who I am...
And now I ask myself, " How long will it be before I forget this again? Return to my habitual ways...?"
I don't know, but I feel a song welling up inside my heart and my head..."A Change Gonna Come" (oh yes it will...) by Sam Cooke... and I weep...
"Love this story, great narrator "
best book I've ever read. the ending always has me in tears. really great narrator
I loved this brilliant novel. Misha was a amazing character. I disliked the ending and with Ouray was in the ending

Antimatter Audio Brain SeedMFR# ANTIBRAIN
- Description
The Antimatter Brain Seed is a step recorder with many extras that packs a ton of fun and functionality behind a 4hp panel while keeping the interface as intuitive as possible.
- Record 1 to 1000 of steps in variable mode. Record the number of steps that you want until you're done and the Brain seed will play them back. The buffer clears and restarts at step 1 each time a new recording is started.
- Record 8/16/32 steps in fixed length mode. This mode is good for jamming, it allows you to punch in and selectively record over values in the buffer.
- Record (Reseed) has a gate input and a toggle switch, so that you can remotely control or automate recording.
- Each button has a tri-colored LED to show its state
- Each button is a 1-1 function (except save)
- Save your sequence in memory to take your patch with you
- +5/-5 volt in/out bipolar range with a super nifty clip LED at the top so that you know when you're out of range
- 1-button simple quantizer on the output = Your choice of No/Yes/Major/Minor notes :-)
- Shift input sums to the output (and is quantized if quantizer is active). A great way to shift/modulate/arpeggiate patterns over time or combine with external sequencers.
- Brain Freeze = When Frz is high, the Brain Seed "freezes" in place, holding its current value and producing no new triggers. Brain Freeze is great for breaking up a sequence and producing new rhythms. There is a jumper on the back that can change this input into a standard reset (there's a header on the back so that you can make your own reset jack externally while keeping Brain Freeze intact).
- Cycle input = Progress through your sequence with a clock in a standard linear fashion, or bounce/pendulum <> mode, or with random step selection on each clock input. The 4th mode is CV Cycle, scrub though your sequences with LFOs, envelopes, joysticks, or use an external mixer to combine CV sources!
- Trigger out = Each time the Brain Seed progresses from one step to another, a trigger is produced. In CV mode, combined with Brain Freeze, you can produce some really fun, grin-worthy trigger streams...
- When nothing is input (Seed In), the Brain Seed will produce random voltages while ReSeed is active, making the Brain Seed a random CV/note generator. If you hear something that you like, use ReSeed to capture some of the random goodness.
- Use as digital S&H (no drift!), random generator, simple quantizer, note or modulation recorder, rhythm generator, pseudo arpeggiator, etc.
- Capture values from your keyboard (using a midi-CV interface), LFOs, chaos generators, noise, envelopes, DC offset knobs, etc.
- Add a slew/lag module (such as the Circuit Abbey CV Slide) to the output to get smooth transitions for opening filters or sliding notes.
- Patch into an ASR (such as the Malekko Q-ASR) to distribute your sequence over time and multiple outputs.
- Capture sequences from your other sequencers, use the Brain Seed to simply add that "one more" track that you need to make your composition complete, etc.

Maddon anticipates even more run production
MESA, Ariz. -- Opening Night for the Cubs is in two weeks, and manager Joe Maddon likes what he sees, especially after getting some projections from the baseball operations department regarding the offense. Last season, the Cubs ranked second in the National League in runs scored (808) behind the Rockies, but that was without Kyle Schwarber in the lineup.
"For right now," Maddon said, "it looks like hitting him [first] and the pitcher eighth is not a bad idea."
• Spring Training: Info | Tickets | Schedule | Gear
That's because the geeks, as Maddon fondly calls the statistics folks, project the Cubs to score more runs than they did last year. They're not only counting on Schwarber's presence making a difference but another year of maturity for the young hitters like Willson Contreras, Addison Russell and even Kris Bryant. Plus, they project a rebound season for Jason Heyward, who batted .230 last year.
"I think, naturally, the hitting will get better," Maddon said. "If somebody had a bad year, they should rebound from last year."
Schwarber may not seem like a prototypical leadoff hitter, but Maddon likes having him at the top.
"If he's hitting fourth or fifth, I don't believe he'll be pitched the same as he will hitting in front of Bryant and [Anthony] Rizzo," said Maddon, who is a proponent of constructing a lineup that protects key players. "When my lineup card goes to the other team and they look at that, and if Schwarber is left without a blanket, they'll exploit not pitching to him."
Maddon will start work on the mental part of the game after Tuesday's off-day to prepare for the season opener on April 2, when the Cubs face the Cardinals. He's already seen some changes in the attitude after meeting early last week with the "lead bulls." Those are the veteran players Maddon likes to have in charge of the clubhouse.
"It seems it's working in the right direction," Maddon said.
Did any of the young players on the roster move up to lead-bull status?
"They haven't graduated yet," Maddon said. "I want them to just go play; I don't want them to feel that responsibility yet."

Ella is 10 Months!
Ahh, double digits today! I'll skip the emotional "time is going by too fast" speech, because we all already know how I feel about that. (Sob!) Ella is changing so much lately - especially just the past couple weeks. At ten months old...
She has sprouted her two front teeth. They have a nice sized gap in between them, just like Aubrey had. :) (As if she didn't look enough like her big sister, even her teeth are growing in like hers did!)
This baby is a CHOW HOUND. She has never NOT liked anything we've given her. She's also never DONE eating. She usually has pieces of whatever we are eating for breakfast and dinner, and baby food as well. She also always tries to grab her spoon and is a complete mess after each meal.
Has started babbling "Mamamama" - but of course only when she's whining. Not ideal - but I'll take it! She still says "Dadada" all day long, too.
She is becoming more and more mobile. She still isn't crawling on her hands on knees, but she finally pulled up to a stand by herself the other day! Not cruising along furniture yet, but I'm sure by next month she will be.
Still on her two naps a day schedule. She gets up once or twice a night to nurse (eye roll), but it's only five minutes so I know it could be worse. Plus I'm a spoiled mama and Steve goes and gets her for me and changes her diaper.
She loves music and bounces a little when a good song is on. She also LOVES the piano, and will set there and bang on the keys for as long as I'll let her. Perhaps we have a future Elton John on our hands.
She loves the dogs at my mom's house and if you say "Doggy?!" really loudly to her she'll say "Woo! Woo! Woo" Her version of "woof". :)
Still nursing all the live long day. She has no interest in cutting feedings whatsoever!
If you say "Bababa" to her she'll put her mouth on her hand and make a "baba" noise right back. Hard to explain but it's really cute!
She weighs 18 lbs & I forget her height. I just remember the DR saying she was tall and on the light side.
Still rocking size 3 diapers & wearing 9-12 month clothes now.
She is starting to point at things. She always gets a hoot out of waving at herself. :)
She is starting to be more playful with her big sisters. She'll give them kisses, climb all over them, and giggle the loudest with them. It's the BEST to watch.

Rack and tire recommendations
I've been away for awhile, and hope everyone is well. I bought a Birdy Monocoque and a Swift last summer in anticipation of taking them to Europe, but the trip fell through. We (my GF and I) rode them for awhile on a paved bike path, but we tend to put a lot of miles on our tandem. We are considering a week long trip in the Fall to the Great Allegheny Passage, a bike trail from MD to PA. I've read it is mostly fine crushed limestone, we are used to concrete and/or asphalt. That said:
Both bikes have Marathon Racers, 20 x 1.5 and 18 x 1.5...is this sufficently wide enough for that type of surface?
What kind of rack fits a Swift? Is a seatpost rack (ala Topeak) an option?
I know I can get a Birdy Expedition II...any others to consider?
This will be credit card touring, so I am thinking (hoping) we won't be too weighted down, as the Birdy is a 9 speed and the Swift is a Nexus 8.
Would also like to talk to anyone who has done this particular trail via email or PM. I have folder fever again! :eek:
Rack and tire
Zonker, I would like to get in on your question about the rack. I'm looking for a quick release seatpost rack for my gobike. The diameter is 34 mm. I think that might be the same size as the Swift seatpost. I also believe the Topeak rack is rated up to 32mm. Has anyone tried to modify a standard size seatpost rack to fit a larger seatpost?
I'd use a standard rack. Connect the forward arms to the top Quick Release for the seat post.
Seatpost racks in general are a little weak, and few of them fit the larger seatposts. Topeak definitely won't fit.
I'd also get some fenders....
Rack-wise, I've got the Old Man Mountain Sherpa Rack (the MTB version). The rack came with some risers bolted to it, and an extra long skewer to allow mounting to a bike without rack mounts. I installed the rack without the risers to keep it low and help keep the folded size as small as possible. Below are some photos. In the product photo (3rd) you can see the aluminum risers and skewer which I omitted. Also, rather than running the two rack stays from the sides of the rack to the brake bosses, I bent one of the stays and drilled a hole in the platform of the rack so I could use just one central stay. I thought it was much cleaner that way. I'm pretty sure you could make this rack work with the Swift. I'm not familiar enough with how the Monocoque folds to say whether or not the Sherpa would work with it.
In addition to the Expedition Rack you mentioned for the Birdy,I saw a photo here of another rack mounted to a Monocoque. Looks a little more substantial than the Expedition.
Tire-wise, you might want to try Schwalbe Marathon Plus tires. I have no personal experience with them, but I hear they're great where avoiding flats is concerned. They come in 20 x 1.35 and 20 x 1.75.
http://schwalbetires.com/files/x_img_marathonplus.gif Do I remember reading something about the Birdy having an odd wheel size?

First off, I am sorry for your losses! I had a blighted ovum diagnosed at 8 weeks, had a healthy pregnancy and gave birth to my first daughter in 2009. In 2011, we decided to go for #2, everything was going well until I found out that the baby had stopped developing at 9 weeks and here I was 12 weeks along. That baby had a chromosomal abnormality, but I went on to have another healthy pregnancy and my 2nd daughter will be 1 in June. My doc told me that, sadly, these were just bad luck and it was a terrible coincidence. You are DEFINITELY not alone and the ladies here are great, feel free to vent, cry, scream, whatever you need to get through this!
As for DF, I would talk to him, ask him why he is not ready, if he thinks he will be ready. He may just be scared of going through a loss, assure him that you are too and that you can do this together, support each other together, that you are more than ready and just want to know why he is so cautious and casual about it.

MOUNT PLEASANT, S.C. (WCBD) — Following a release of nearly two months ago, new reports are surfacing about Apple's next generation iPhone.
According to reports, the technology powerhouse is trying to introduce wireless charging into the next iPhone. "But whether the feature can eventually make it into Apple's updated devices will depend on whether Foxconn can boost the yield rate to a satisfactory level later on," a source told Foxconn Technology Group.
Wireless charging capabilities is part of Apple's ongoing redesign efforts to boost sales. The company is expected to completely overhaul the iPhone for its tenth anniversary in 2017.
Apple has been struggling with shrinking demand for its signature products. Many consumers are holding onto their old smartphones longer, seeing little reason to buy a new model that's only slightly better.
While wireless charging and curved OLED display are going to be new features for iPhones, some Android phones have been offering these for a while.
Apple sold 45.5 million iPhones in the quarter that ended in September. That was slightly more than the 45 million that Wall Street expected, but still 5 percent fewer than the 48 million iPhones it sold in the same period a year earlier.

With the 2o17/18 football season underway, it's fair to say that money has dominated the summer headlines.
Premier League clubs have collectively spent over a billion pounds on signings already, while Paris Saint-Germain broke the world transfer record when it spent €222 million (£200 million) on Neymar.
Clubs are boosted by record TV revenues. This helps them pay players huge wages. Footballers are also free to pursue off-the-pitch sponsorship deals.
Following on from our list of 15 richest football club owners in England, Business Insider has ranked the 13 richest footballers in the world using net worth data from the Sunday Times rich list, Forbes, football website Goal.com, and financial services site Gobankingrates.com.
Here they are in ascending order.

Our Verdict: If the features and performance of CA Internet Security Suite 2008 lived up to its interface, this security package would be a winner. But they don't—and it isn't. Read More…
- What We Liked…

- Somewhat unstable
CA Internet Security Suite Plus 2008 Review
By November 7, 2007reviewed
CA Internet Security Suite Plus 2008 doesn't have much of a learning curve, but it also lacks details many of its competitors include.
The $69.99 app remains modular, rather than following the trend toward a single, integrated executable. The good news is that you can install individual modules—such as Parental Controls, Anti-Virus, Anti-Spyware, Anti-Spam, Website Inspector, Desktop DNA Migrator, and Personal Firewall—while ignoring functions your PC already handles. The bad news: Installation on a pair of 3GHz machines took almost 15 minutes each. Worse, if you install everything, Internet Security Suite Plus loads more than a half-dozen executables with a large memory footprint. Worst of all, the program throws fits if you have other antivirus or firewall software installed, whether or not they are running. The Windows toolbar, for example, vanished from both of our test machines when we had Ashampoo's firewall present, and opening any program ran a strong risk of destabilizing the rest of the system.
Once correctly installed and fully functional, CA Internet Security Suite Plus usually performed well. Among security suites, it's the easiest to learn, thanks to a simple but effective tutorial for all modules and their main features. The individual interface screens were also excellent, because the modules presented choices and explanations in an organized and legible fashion.
We really liked the detail of the Parental Control module, with its scheduler and detailed filtering; Desktop DNA Migrator (the backup, restore, and transfer program), on the other hand, had very few options—it didn't have a backup option for altered files only, for instance. CA has also made significant improvements in the lackluster Tiny Personal Firewall (TPF), which it acquired last year after dropping ZoneAlarm's firewall from the package. The original TPF didn't switch several important ports to "stealth" mode (which would make them invisible to pinging intruders). The 2008 firewall is better, but because it doesn't begin with a company- or user-defined list of allowable programs, you have to click OK in a popup for every application the first time you run each of them. Its popup blocker also misfired about 50 percent of the time in our testing.
A number of other tools also felt lightweight when compared with their counterparts in similar programs. The antispyware module repeatedly crashed while it was trying to remove problems (though it usually worked on subsequent tries). Website Inspector still takes forever to provide advice about perfectly valid Web sites, and often reaches the wrong conclusion. The antispam module can only be accessed through Outlook, Outlook Express, and Windows Mail—if you don't use one of these, you're out of luck. And the spam protection isn't that great: Its main line of defense is lists that you have to maintain, while it learns very slowly via largely noncustomizable Bayesian filters.

Discussion in 'Lifestyle' started by Coffee and TV, Jan 4, 2008.
I have been offered a Sony A700K for $480 or a Rebel XTi/Nikon D40 for $500. Which should I do?
XT or XTi, pass on the kit lens.
Recently a convert to Canon and love it. Get the XTi
Are these used or new? D40 is only available as a kit, XTi can be purchased body only ... we comparing kit to kit?
XTi ftw
So, XTi it is. I'll see what I can get on the XT, though.
get the xti over an xt
out of those, the XTi
Used D80
used 20d and good glass.

In answer to your question, at the Efest event this year, the guy distributing these said the Eflite 480 would work fine or of course the AXI he was selling like 78Dave used.
Specs on the Park 480 Brushless Outrunner Motor, 1020Kv
Perfect match for 3D park flyers weighing 2030 oz (565850 g)
Ideal for scale park flyers 2535 oz (710990 g)
Ideal for models requiring up to 275 watts of power
78Dave lists the weight as 32-43 ounces. so this would put the Maxi Swift under 10 watts per ounce with this motor. You would likely still need a 3200 3s size battery to balance it.
The 480 would be similar to the power that 78Dave used with the Axi motor listed in the review so those are 2 options. Why don't you buy a Maxi Swift, build it light and floaty, then give us the feedback.
I wanted vertical performance and power to do low tight maneuvers so I went with the 400 watt range for motor and a 4000 Mah 3 cell. I am very happy with the performance and it matches my style of flying the wing. The best part is the growl you get from this wing when you hit the power. It is not a quiet flyer in any sense of the word!
I will try to get some video and post it up soon.
BTW I fly 25-30 minutes with this set up depending on throttle use.
Last edited by Bleemer; Jul 06, 2008 at 12:05 PM.
Thanks for all the info! I figured that big pack was for balance. It should fly forever on those if it floats well. I am probably buying a sailplane or 2 today, so I will not be getting the Maxi anytime soon. But I feel like it is just a matter of time before I pick one up. I will build it lite and certainly let everyone know how it does.
Thanks again!
My Maxi flew exactly as you described yours initiallly. My first launch at WOT, I thought I lost the radio as I felt no response to my inputs. What did you use to glass the elevons? .75oz cloth and epoxy or something cheaper? My initial balance point took two 2100mah 3 cell packs.
I got one of the early kits as mine didn't have any string, I tried the packing tape and several other tapes but none would stay on. I ended up burying some 1mm x 3mm carbon strips, a couple on top and bottom.
Your glassing idea makes me want to get this beast back out and try it again!
Thanks, Matt
i used some lightweight Fiberglass cloth and thinned epoxy on just the bottom of the elevon. I would probably use a heavier glass were I to do it again to get more rigidity. I then used some fiber strapping tape over the top of that. This all added weight that of course has to be countered up front but it gave me control I can live with. I also have a flat carbon strip on the back edge of the elevon.
If I were to start over, I might have tried some carbon rod in an x pattern and cut it into the elevon bottom. That might eliminate the twisting as a alternative to glassing them and might weigh less too.
The beast deserves a 2nd chance and with control back, it will put a smile on your face. I have the best aerial video from the Maxi Swift too since it is so big and stable up high.
Be sure you lay out all the electronic gear, including the battery, on the wing and check the CG before you start cutting.
It all comes down to cutting up the painted side versus the bottom which is all white. I really wish they would paint both sides of these as you end up staring at the white bottom when its in the air.I taped some stripes on mine for better visibility.
p.s. we decided that having 2 servo's per elevon should help us with the control fade at speed(Earlier Posts). You may want to try that too. These are big elevons and they may be flexing plus the single servo may be loosing the battle to hold the elevon up or down at medium to high speeds.
Thank Bleemer that helps.
I was going to use a couple HS-81s on it. The rest of my servos are $6 Hobby lobby stuff or full size. Will the 81s handle it?
Im going to use it for some AP Ive been using a slow stick but the wind keeps it grounded more often than not.
How did you mount your camera any Pics?
Very Nice review Dave. Got myself one this weekend and need some help, How well is the string and CA working to stiffen things up? I'm thinking rather to go with a carbon rod at the C of G.
Did not like the idea of installing all the gear at the bottom so I only left the servo's there and the rest whent on top, but can see damaged comming with those horns stikking out. Maybe adding a strake on the bottom centre LE to TE for hand launches this might then help to protect the servo's also.
Installed a Turningy SK3542-1250 with APC 10x7 maybe a overkill and hover in hand at half throttle!!! With two lipo's up front and a bit of lead there AUW came to 1143g.

I put everything in the equipment bay on top.
The wing reinforcement consists of the following.
Tensioned kevlar cords (two on top and two on bottom) that were CA'd in place. The picture shows the plywood wing jointer and cords before installation.
The cords still let the wing flex some because the cords compress into the foam a little under load but the more you bend the wing the more it resists.
I also added two strips of fiberglass filament tape on the bottom (under the black decoration) and one on the top (under the red decoration) to stop that initial wing flex.
There is also a plywood spar installed accross the back of the equipment bay. You can see in the picture how far it extends out.
Thanks again Gary, Did a maiden flight today..... what can I say it fly's as advertised! with plenty of power on my set up and will climb vertical at full throttle and at less than half will float around very nicely, will do some more flights the weekend to trim but won't need to adjust alot.
No stiffening added not even strings as in jet but first up is elavons for some carbon.
I do not have this plane yet, but i flewn two of this, one white one with print. Also as glider with no motor at it, and still carrying two lipos at front, and great flight everytime.
My both friends fixed wings from left to right in two levels (before your electro bay, and before motor) and cover front surface with glass(x) tape.
Do you have any blueprints of you inlay part and servo holder? or just a drawed line around wing?
Can you post photo how you lead flex or pusher from servo to wing?
Thanks, and good job
No sorry I do not have any drawings but if you progress into the build in the right order it becomes apparent where each part must fit. These would be my suggestions on the order of construction.
1) I form the equipment bay cover by temporarily taping the wing halves to together before any cutting and marking out the equipment bay. Then cover the bay with greased poly sheeting and lay up about 5 pieces of 3oz fiberglass to form the cover. Make it over sized to allow for trimming.
I make the bay as large as possible which is 7 inches deep and 6 3/4 wide. The limitation on the front end is leaving room for the battery cutouts and on the rear leaving room for mounting the ESC.
2) I cut out the bay before gluing the wing halves as it can be done much cleaner using a razor knife than a hot blade. I use a sharp box cutter and straight edge and leave at least 3/8-inch wall on the bottom. Remember that when the halves are joined the wing has anhedral so take that into account on the required angle of the bay floor.
3) I draw out the wing joiner by first tracing the wing profile and then drawing exactly where I want the camera and motor to mount. Position the motor exactly where the OEM mount would put it.
4) Next joint the wings and install a bottom on the equipment bay. I use .060 G10 fiberglass.
5) Now pick the spot for the elevons horns. From the horn you want the push rod to go forward at a 45-degree angle from the elevon not parallel with the wing center. Put in place the servos so you can determine exactly where the push rod must enter the equipment bay. Install the elevon horns so you can see exactly how high the push rod must be at the attachment point. With those points known the route of the push rod is obvious. Use the largest possible radius for the bend. I tape a sheet metal form to the wing as a guide for hot knife cutting the channel.
6) For any necessary filing such as the channels I use micro balloons and epoxy or water based polyurethane.
7) The very last step is the battery box cut outs, which are determined by balancing for the correct CG. Making this the last step will minimize the need for adding ballast later.
Hope this helps. There is too much other detail to write out but I can answer any other specific questions as needed.

How To Shape Nails
Mar. 2, 2014 No Comments Posted under: Beauty
Nails play a very vital role for having a well-groomed personality. Regular care is very important for having beautiful and healthy nails. Hands are always prominent while doing anything, even while staying quite. The procedure of taking care of nails and hands is known as Manicure which literally means care of hands and nails. Taking care of hands doesn't only mean to wash them and clean them regularly but it means to cut them and give them a proper shape regularly. We are sharing some ideas with you which will help you to learn how to shape nails.
Nails have several shapes, as in;
- Round Shape
- Oval Shape
- Square Shape
- Squoval Shape
- Pointed Shape
Round Shape:
Round shape looks great with short nails. If you have wide nails and large hands, then you should adopt the round shape for your nails. It will help your hands look thinner. Round nails give soft and delicate look to hands.
How To File:
It is very easy to get round nails. You just have to follow few easy steps.
- It is best to file the side walls straight out and a little round from the edges of the walls of filed nails.
- Don't file too much because it can give an unbalanced look to your nail.
The easiest way of giving a round look is to file the side walls of your nail straight out and then just round the corners to complete the shape.
Oval Shape:
Oval looks good on mostly short and wide fingers. Oval shape looks very attractive and graceful. The most interesting thing about oval nails is that it looks good on both short and long nails. Oval shape helps nail to look a bit long.
How To File:
It is very easy to get oval nails. You just have to follow few easy steps.
- To get oval shape first start with straightening your side walls and make sure that they are even.
- Then start filling from the side of the nail in the direction of top.
- From there, work your tilts on both sides and around the free edge to smooth into the oval shape you actually want.
Square Shape:
Square nails look amazing on long and narrow fingers. The square shape with straight side walls give a classic look to you nails. Square nails are suitable for French manicures and for many detailed nail art designs. But square shape doesn't look good on all type of nails. Square shape can help fingers to look longer.
How To File:
To get square shape, just follow these easy steps.
- Use a medium-grade file.
- File the side walls and free edges first.
- File the side wall straight up and then change the tilt to blend.
- Repeat this on the other side.
- Once when both sides are done, use tilts to sharpen the corners.
Squoval Shape:
Squoval shape looks good with short nails and big fingers. It is a very common shape but it is not given in many nail expert textbooks. The word squoval is merged from two English words "square" and "oval". this name is given to this shape because it is mixture of square and oval shape. The squoval nail is basically the shape having the length of square and having corners like an oval.
How To File:
To give a Squoval shape to our nail follow the following steps.
- File your nail square and make sure that side walls are straight.
- Now gradually file the corners of the square and file the corners of the square off.
- Keep in your mind that you just have to file the tips of the square.
Pointed Shape:
Pointed elongates tiny hands and fingers. This shape is not very common but it looks great. This shape was first invented by the nail experts in Russia and after Russia it became a bit popular in Eastern Europe but it is not common in the whole world yet. Pointed shape is little better than other shapes like oval, squoval etcetra. Such nails looks best on smaller hand with smaller nails.
How To File:
Filing a pointed shape is quite difficult because little imperfections can make it look unbalanced.
- File one side of the nail slightly to above and make a pointed edge.
- Now repeat the same for the other side of the same nail
- File your nail in a particular tilt.

Oval is a digital instrument that can fit an entire playable drum set of sound in comfortably into your lap. Its appearance falls somewhere in between a flying saucer or a sterile Simon Says toy, but its performance capabilities and portability is unparalleled. This small physical object syncs with a smartphone, tablet, or computer to create any sound you desire.
The Oval project has already surpassed its 100,000-euro Kickstarter goal, and is hoping to revolutionize digital instruments as well as the portability of extensive percussion instrumentation.
The touchpads on this little drum set are gesture sensitive, using velocity and X/Y to turn the entire surface into a controller for you to layer. And Bluetooth functionality allows you to bring this device anywhere you can bring your electronic host device in order to make excellent, customized music and sound wherever you go.

Stalked (1 x 30′) – Stalked is the story of how one man became entangled in the murky waters of 21st century sexual manners; and how easily the word of one person can transform your life, causing you to question your own past, and fear your own innermost thoughts. When a single, thirty-something writer living in London awoke to find a woman he'd met just hours earlier saying she loved him, an alarm bell started to ring. Six months later, his life changed for the worse. Told through dramatized sequences and interviews with friends, family, workmates and neighbours, Stalked reveals how a confident young man ends up as a terrified victim. What are the rules of contemporary sexual politics? How does it feel to be transformed on the say-so of one person, from victim to sexual assault suspect? And why does nearly everyone view the idea of a man being stalked by a woman as a joke.

The former Libertines frontman was arrested for criminal damage following a drunken night out in Berlin, it has been reported.
According to reports, Doherty threw a pint glass at a parked vehicle, smashing the rear window.
The incident occurred outside the Trinkteufel club at around 7am on Saturday where Doherty had reportedly been consuming copious amounts of alcohol and asking bar staff where he could buy drugs.
Allegedly, he and two friends had been thrown out of another bar earlier.
A bartender from Trinkteufel venue is quoted in German magazine Bild as saying: "I almost threw them out too.
"He was drinking shots and constantly asking where to get cocaine."
German police arrested the singer following the incident, in which he smashed the rear window.
The Babyshambles singer was allegedly arrested and questioned by German officials for three hours before being charged with property damage and later released.
Doherty had already caused fury in the country after singing an outlawed Nazi-version of the German national anthem only a few days earlier at a Munich music festival.
The singer, who has just finished a short solo tour, later apologised through a spokesman, claiming he was "unaware of the controversy" surrounding the verse.

Grand theft
Grand Theft Definition
Grand theft is the crime of taking someone else's property against their will with the intent of permanently depriving them of the property.
In order to be considered grand theft, the total value of what was taken must exceed a certain dollar amount. The value of the property stolen to constitute the crime as grand theft varies by locale and other specifics.
The term "property" in the grand theft definition can include money, labor, real, or personal property that lawfully belongs to another individual or group of individuals.
Grand Theft vs. Petty Theft
When the value of the stolen property does not exceed the specified dollar amount, the crime is considered petty theft. The law in all jurisdictions draws a legal distinction between petty and grand theft.
In most cases, petty theft is a misdemeanor crime that is punishable by no more than one year of incarceration and a maximum fine.
Most states consider grand theft a felony crime that carries the possibility of a much harsher penalty. The specific punishment for the felony crime of grand theft will often depend on the applicable state laws and the type of theft that took place.
Degrees of Grand Theft
Many jurisdictions classify grand theft crimes by degrees which indicate the severity of the criminal act. The degree of grand theft is often predicated by the value amount of the property that was stolen.
For example, in a given jurisdiction a fourth degree grand theft charge may involve a total $1,000 value of stolen property, whereas a first degree grand theft may involve stolen property valued at $10,000 or more.
The value amount that is associated with each degree, or level of offense, is determined by state and local law and can vary significantly by location.
Examples of Grand Theft
There are many acts which can be considered grand theft. They include:
- Shoplifting - defined as taking property, goods, or services from a place of business - can be considered grand theft if the value of the stolen goods exceeds the specified dollar amount.
- Vehicle theft is also considered grand theft as the value of most motor vehicles exceeds the value limit ascribed to petty theft.
- The taking of a firearm is considered grand theft and may be punishable by harsher penalties than grand theft of other goods similarly valued. The laws for grand theft of a firearm are often harsher due to the type of property stolen rather than the value of the property.
Grand Theft on the Rise
There are a few types of grand theft that have been on the rise in the United States. Credit card fraud, internet fraud, identity theft and the like are all white collar crimes for which an offender may be charged with grand theft.
It is estimated that 25 million Americans become the victims of consumer fraud, often considered a grand theft offense, each year.
When a person is charged with grand theft involving white collar fraud, they often face the same penalties as individuals charged with grand theft crimes involving tangibles like motor vehicles or merchandise from a business.
If you would like to learn more about grand theft and the specific laws in your state, please contact us to speak with a qualified and experienced attorney who can evaluate your case to determine your rights and legal options.
