1/12 Noorduyn Norseman, Take 3!
OK, I've started this project twice before, and bailed out both times. I reallly want a Norseman, so I'm at it again. This time, I think I have ironed out the problems where I went wrong before. I've been waiting for a while to post pictures in case it all wound up in the rubbish bin again.
The fuselage is made of formers and stringers. The wings will be a 2-piece design, plugging into the fuse sides. I plan on using some Dean's 3-pin connectors for the aileron servo wires at the wing root. Plugging in the wing will automatically connect the aileron servos. Wingspan will be 51.5". I'm hoping to use my Nippy 1812/100 for power. I'm hoping to achieve a flying weight of around 30oz (including battery) for a wing loading of 12.5oz sqft. I'm going bit by bit, so progress won't be rapid, but I hope to fly it this summer! If people following the progress of my previous attempts here notice I'm slacking off or about to throw in the towel again, please harass me until I finish it this time! |

I'm sticking with the Saskatchewan Air Ambulance colours of 1947. There is a great book entitled "Wings of Mercy" by Don Campbell that covers the history of the service. He was one of their pilots. Some pretty interesting flying. They started out with some Norseman aircraft. There is also a 20 minute documentary made by the National Film Board of Canada in 1947 with the same title. I'm going to get a copy soon. There is a short clip of the movie with some brief shots of the Norseman on the NFB website here . (Real Player required to view).
For wing ribs, I designed the wing using "Profili". Once you have all the spars, sheeting, and lightening holes input into the program, it spits out a rib pattern you can export in .dxf format. I sent that to Charlie, and he is laser cutting the ribs. It's my first go at having something laser cut, so we'll see how I did shortly! |

COMODO Firewall 5 : Site Inspector
Comodo Dragon's site inspector carefully checks the URL you specify, looking for any signs of Web-based malware. It also reports details like the domain registrar, the location of the server, and the registered technical contact phone number.
20 / 20
Bottom Line
Comodo Firewall 5 stealths ports as it should, but its program control is effectively off by default. Its Defense+ behavior-based protection blocks both good and bad programs, pushing security decisions off onto the user. Webroot has shown that behavior-based detection need not hassle the user; Comodo should learn that lesson.

Royal Heritage™ Strain Lenten Rose
Triumphs over heat, humidity, and even drought!
Uniquely superior for its wide range of sumptuous colors (purple, red, near-black, white, green, pink, and even yellow--each individual plant only displays one bloom color) captured by 2-inch flowers with overlapping petals. In our garden the strain produces flowers for nearly 5 months, from winter through spring. Cut and floated, they make an excellent centerpiece, lasting up to two weeks.
A gardener's "dream plant" -- very permanent, very low maintenance, very disease free, very pest free! Easy to establish from our vigorous container stock. Over the years each will develop into sturdy, long-lived clumps 18 to 24 inches high and 2 to 3 feet across. Totally tolerant of heat and humidity, and even periods of drought, if given well-drained, moisture-retentive soil. Can even thrive in clay! Zones 4-8.

That is not true. I can name a whole bunch of people that prefer desktops over laptops.
I used to do this from a PC store we ran, back in about 2001-2005. I do not recommend it. There is very little profit to be made and the hassle of providing support for the customers is mind numbing if you don't have a team capable of assisting. It's a nice idea and one I'm sure we've all thought of, it's just not practical

Jennifer Garner Shopping With Baby Samuel Affleck | Pictures
Jennifer Garner and Baby Samuel Get in the Holiday Spirit
Jennifer Garner had her son, Samuel Affleck, on her hip today as she did some shopping in her Brentwood neighborhood of LA. Jen and Samuel may have been wrapping up some holiday gift shopping during their outing; she was seen leaving JennyBec's children's store with an oversize shopping bag in hand. It was the second time we've seen the actress and mom browsing the racks at different boutiques in so many days. Yesterday, she was spotted at Barney's in Beverly Hills.
Jennifer is back home from her latest stint on the set of The Dallas Buyers Club in New Orleans, and this morning, Ben Affleck was in Washington DC to testify on behalf of more US engagement in the Congo. Despite their many work and philanthropic commitments, the Garner-Afflecks have also clocked lots of time at home with their three children this month as they prepare for a busy January. Award season kicks into high gear in early 2013, and Ben's film Argo earned five Golden Globe nominations last week, including a nod for Ben as best director, boding well for the film's Oscar chances.

Just checking to see how everyone is doing!
Allie married to DH for 12yrs
DD 9 DS 8 DS 5 BABY#4 2/28/2013!!! yay!
So far so good. Had to go to L&D last week for a suspected amniotic fluid leak, especially since I lost my mucus plug at week 33, but it was a false alarm.
Just hanging in there, waiting for February to start--the little guy will be term as of the 3rd, so birth could happen any time that month! I'm just hoping I don't go into labor during the Super Bowl, especially if the Ravens make it
Nikki (40) and the boys: DH (39), DS #1 (8) and DS #2 (arrived 2.21.13)
Doing good. No contractions yet, not even BH. I suspect she will be late. My mom had 8 kids, all past their due date. My one sister who has kids had the same thing happen. A lot of disappointed family members if we don't make the year of the Dragon, which end on February 9th.
Allie married to DH for 12yrs
DD 9 DS 8 DS 5 BABY#4 2/28/2013!!! yay!
Good Luck Allie and all! I have been having the BH contractions with a lot of pressure on my pelvis, but nothing super painful. I asked the doctor to check me out on Wednesday at my last appointment and I was 2cm dilated and 50% effaced. However, with DS#2 I was 5cm dilated and 70% effaced for almost a month and we had to break my water to get him to come out.
Boo & Big D 2008
'*"* Mini D 11/09 & L 03/11 *"*'
Excited to meet #3 EDD 18 FEB 2013
Doing good here, I get BH here and there but nothing painful. C-section is scheduled for Feb 11th, I will be term this week on Sat the 26th :) This is also my last week of work I hope Friday comes fast!
Brooke Alexandria 12/22/05
Vince Michael 05/16/07
Blake Logan 2/05/13
Doing good here, lots of BH, a little painful at times, but definitely not the real thing! Baby is due on the 28th so I still have a little while to go, hoping not before 38weeks, I've had three babies at 39 1/2 wks and one at 36 1/2 wks. I'm feeling old, baby is kickin my ass! I think it's partly chasing toddler related, she's a handful! Hangin in there!
I still have 5 weeks to go, due Feb. 24. Baby is still head up and I'm doing acupuncture to try to encourage him to move. Though I spoke with my sister who has 5 kids, all of whom moved head down during just the last few days before labor, so maybe it's genetic.
No BH, dealing with a little bit of low back achiness, but I feel good. Just training my fill in at work (3 more weeks in the office!) and slowly getting the nursery together. We are also dealing with some difficult to navigate issues with my in laws who want to fly in to come see us right away, while I'd like a few days to ourselves first.
Me (42), DH (38)
DS born 02/19/13
I've been having contractions since the first of December. They haven't stopped anything, just tell me now any time I call (you know, call when you have more than 4 within the hour) that they dont want me to come in until they are atleast 3-5 minutes apart (scares me, because we lived 30-45 minutes away from the hospital and my two children were born in less than two hours)
I go in on Wednesday for an appt with a real OB doctor. I am hoping they check me. If not, Dh is going with me and wont let them bully me in to thinking I can go another week or two without being checked. We also hope to talk about induction since my last two had to be induced as I dont have the hormones to go in to active labor on my own (something that has been overlooked by the midwives these past few months)
Im nervous about my appt on Wed, but also excited as I hope to see that I am somewhat progressing. The last time I was checked by L&D, I was almost a cm dialated and my cervix was thinning--that was before Thanksgiving. So we'll see if anything has happened during the last couple of weeks. Although Im sure I'll go in and nothing will have changed, inspite of these horrible contractions that I've been having throughout the day.
27 more days to go and hopefully we get to meet our little man, whether he comes out on his own, induced or I have to get a c-section. We are just excited and counting down the days....
proud mother to:
dd#1 (8-01), dd#2 (4-04) and our newset bundle, ds#1 (2-13)

You win, or you die."''--->--'''Queen Cersei Lannister''' '''''Game of Thrones''''' is an {{Creator/HBO}} series based on Creator/GeorgeRRMartin's [[{{Doorstopper}} epic]] fantasy series ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire''.In the land of Westeros, the seasons last for years. The story opens with the threat of a ''long'' winter fast approaching. The Hand of the King, Jon Arryn, has unexpectedly died. King Robert ventures north to Winterfell to name his old friend, Eddard Stark, his new Hand and second in command. Despite the concerns of his wife, Catelyn, Eddard reluctantly accepts his new title out of duty. While there, he uncovers evidence that Jon Arryn was murdered--and that the hand behind Arryn's death may now be poised to strike the king. The plot thickens and twists from thereon.The series was adapted for television by David Benioff and Dan Weiss. In describing the series to newcomers, Benioff jokingly called it "''Series/TheSopranos'' [[XmeetsY meets]] [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Middle-earth]]". The producers and Martin have a tentative plan for eight seasons, with Book 3 (itself the length of the entire ''[=LotR=]'' trilogy) being split into two. This is also partially a delaying action, as Book 6 is only partially written and Book 7 but a gleam in Martin's eye; fortunately, contingency plans for a GeckoEnding have been set in case Martin is overtaken [[OvertookTheManga by the show]] or [[AuthorExistenceFailure being alive]]. The showrunners also know the basic idea of what will happen, and Martin has said that if he dies before completing the final two books, the show will end the saga.The show premiered on April 17, 2011 and has received critical acclaim. The first season was nominated for 13 Emmy awards, winning two -- Best Opening Title and Best Supporting Actor in a Drama (Creator/PeterDinklage as Tyrion Lannister) and the second season won six creative Emmy Awards. Season four officially made it the most successful series in HBO's history, with an average gross audience of 18.4 million across all platforms.HBO's official site, featuring behind-the-scenes teasers, can be found [[http://www.hbo.com/game-of-thrones/ here]], whilst the main fan nexus is [[http://winter-is-coming.net/ Winter Is Coming]].[[Recap/GameOfThrones Has an episode recap guide.]]Vote for your favorite episode [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/crowner.php/BestEpisode/GameOfThrones here]].----!!This series provides examples of:[[index]]* GameOfThrones/TropesAToB* GameOfThrones/TropesCToD* GameOfThrones/TropesEToF* GameOfThrones/TropesGToK* GameOfThrones/TropesLToO* GameOfThrones/TropesPToS* GameOfThrones/TropesTToZ[[/index]]------>''"If you want justice, [[CrapsackWorld you've come to the wrong place.]]"''-----

So I'm in the process of building my brewery, I have the kegs, courtesy of New Belgium (15 bucks a pop from their fortcollins brewery!). I'm using a brew troller setup and have everything except the hop and grain additions automated (yes sparge is automated). I'm using 2x LG 3-MD-HC pumps and one peristaltic pump that I put together with PWM motor control for fly sparge. I'm also using a 40 plate plate chiller from duda diesel. I have one solenoid valve for the water from the faucet and then I have motorized ball valves for the rest of the control valves. I'm going all SS pipe for this, not tubing, and so everything will be screwed together using fittings, mostly because the compression fittings are so DAMNED expensive, and I can do it this way for much cheaper. Well I've got most of it built, stand is built, control box is done, code is written and mostly tested. Now I'm to the point where I need to measure out exactly what all fittings I will need and exactly how I want to pipe the thing to get everything like I want it. So here's the problem. I'm trying to plan this so it's not a royal PITA to clean each time I brew. I plan to recirculate with hot PBW/oxyclean through the system after sucking the grain and pellet hope debris out with a wet/dry vac, then doing a rinse cycle. The issue I seem to be having is how to make sure the system will drain completely after I'm done so I dont have water just sitting in some of the fittings. For example, the pumps, due to how they are arranged with the 3/4 input with the flow direction perpendicular to the pump drive shaft means there will always be a low spot on the pump head where water will sit no matter where you place it. Another example is that in many right angle fittings, etc, the middle of the fitting sits lower than the threaded part, allowing water to pool there when you're done. So I'm trying to come up with a way to make sure that if not all, enough of the water will drain out that it wont cause a problem, or such that what is left in will evaporate without any issues. So any hints/tips/tricks you guys have for doing that I'd love to hear. Thanks!
I'm not sure about how the pumps would take this...but what about rigging up some sort of air compressor to it? When you're done rinsing everything, you hook up an air hose to one of your ports and blow compressed air through the entire system. Not sure if it would work how I'm thinking...but it's a thought.
I'm no expert, but why not just leave the lines filled with water from your tap? You could close off open air access, so the chloramine treated tap water would stay good for quite a while. Of course maybe you have not plumbed it with this in mind. And this assumes your tap water is treated with chloramine. Folks talk of chlorine soaking being a no-no for stainless, but I doubt your tap water would be a problem. Now I'm thinking I've missed something and have just put my foot in my mouth. With my tube in tube CFC, I just let the rinse tap water drain, but there's bound to be water that remains. I put some tin foil over the ends to keep the spiders out. Most folks use copper/stainless/aluminum, from what I read. Obviously you don't want to have acidic fluids like Star San hanging around for a long time in ... say ... copper. Is it important to dry our metal gear?
I've thought about compressed air, though I dont have a compressor that is oil-less, so I'd blow a little bit of compressor oil through the whole system unless I got a different one. What I'm afraid of is that leaving water in is a great place to things you dont want to grow, to grow in, and leaving some things in water is a great way to get corrosion, though with the whole thing stainless and the pump heads being ryton or what ever they are, it "shouldnt" be a problem to leave it full of water, minus the fact that I have to push all that water out on the next brew.... which I dont like that idea. I'd like to be able to drain it.
If the joint of the 90s are sitting lower than the threads, you could replace them with T's? You could attach the bottomost part of the T to a small piece of tubing and a ball valve that you could open at the end of cleanup to drain the vertical tubing and any tubing sloped towards the 90? Am I making any sense at all, have another one ey?
I push almost every drop of liquid out of my system with CO2... costs a bit, but I have 2 20lb tanks at my disposal. I made a flare->camlock fitting so I could just hook it up to my rig as is. It may not get every last drop out... but I'm happy with it.
Head Brewer True Vine Brewing Company
Yea the T idea had occured to me as well, however if you use it to make the 90 degree turn then you'd have to pretty much drill a whole in the side to be able to drain it or it would have the same issue as the regular 90 turn.... unless they make fittings where they are a 3 way conector with one out on the x axis, one on the Y and one on the Z then that would do it... might have to look into that. I suppose I could put a very fine one or two micron air filter on the air compressor and then use it... hmm... I love the C02 idea, too bad I dont have access to something like that.
If you have a 3 keg system you better have some access to C02. You could either use C02 or filtered shop air (air compressor). What about using stainless tubing and flared fittings? That might be cheaper than compression fittings. I'm sure there is a reason why all the breweries have plumbing that can be disassembled and cleaned....
Both the flaired and the compression fittings are very expensive. For example, a single compression or flair fitting can cost 20 bucks, but to get that same setup to work with screw fittings they are 4-7 bucks a piece, less than half for the same usage most of the time. Not sure why I'd better have access to C02 with a 3 keg system... only possible reason I could think of is for a kegerator system or something of the like, but currently I dont have anything like that, I bottle all the beer, and even if I did have korny kegs the C02 bottle is pretty small... but as far as operating the setup... no need for C02 that I can think of, well except this application, but I'd rather use the filtered air compressor air I already have. I've been trying to brain storm an idea on how to do the piping so that it has a continous downill slant so that the water will all just flow out, though for reasons I've already talked about I dont think I can do that, especially with the pumps. So far I'm thinking I'll put a fitting to connect the air compressor with an inline filter in a good spot to blow it out so that's one option. I'd like to explore all the options though, even though I'm not sure there may be others, haha.

FX120 BIB or Bipole
thinking of new project, my experience with the L8's are that they are good for simple music and background music, but i would like somthing a little flatter (in freq resp).
so looking out there the FX120 has a really flat response for a FR, and not too expensive. thinking of some floorstanders either using 1 pair in BIB's or two pairs in some Bipoles (TL or MLTL etc) to get some half respectable bass from them without the use of a sub. any ideas? |

I think you need to take a chill pill and think a little harder before posting. You will end up being ignored What happened here http://www.hawthorneaudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=398 AND every other post you started, not having a dig but you change your mind way too quick it's hard to keep up How about a decent pair of headphones |

well, on the hawthorne audio forum, the guys there sudgested that the SI could possibly not work in my room, only being 10ft square, darrell himself recomended that they could not work. too many ideas, thats me |

Like dipoles (SI's), bipoles want to be well away from the rear wall. Another tough fit in a 10 x 10 room.
BIB's are ideally placed in corners, or at least up against a wall. From the floor plan you posted in the Hawthorne forum, you don't really have that going for you either. I was also tempted by the SI's, but my room is only a little bigger than yours (11 x 14) and I was unsure whether they would fit well. I finally went for the Hemp Acoustics FR8DIY's. They are designed to work well in simple vented boxes (about 3 ft^3, 4" dia x 3" long port, give or take a little), will play loud on minimal power, and should hit a solid 40 Hz or lower in room. User feedback has been very good. DIY'er dmason in particular is very big on them, and he's well respected around here. They are well within your budget, too. See here for a European distributor. Mine are still breaking in, but as the treble smooths out they are sounding very good. I feel no need for a sub. Just after I finished cutting the wood for mine, another interesting cabinet design was proposed - see the Metronome thread in this forum. Or, for even more complication, the Spawn of Frugal Horn. You want 'dynamic and damn right fun and good value'? These might do it for you IMHO. |

hi, i was recomended those a while back, do look good though, been reading up on them thisafternoon on threads on here.
the 'hempsters look good, sim'd the FR8's in WinIsd for a 85L (3cuft) enclosure, 3dB down at 44Hz, doesnt sound too bad. dont really understand the "Metronomes" though... and they are roughly the same price as the FX120's |

sorry, my mistake, i was looking at the hemp speaker on here, and some reason though it was a metranome
The Metronome woulnt a metranome for the hemp driver be really tall as it isnt folded like the BIB? |

No, it's mass loaded. 60in tall. Not exactly a small footprint though as it's pretty wide at the base.

An all-optical locking of a semiconductor laser to the atomic resonance line with 1 MHz accuracy |
Optics Express, Vol. 21, Issue 23, pp. 28010-28018 (2013)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (1097 KB)
An all-optical locking technique without extra electrical feedback control system for a semiconductor laser has been used in stabilizing the laser frequency to a hyperfine crossover transition of 87Rb 52S1/2, F = 2 → 52P3/2, F′ = 2, 3 with 1 MHz level accuracy. The optical feedback signal is generated from the narrow-band Faraday anomalous dispersion optical filter (FADOF) with nonlinear saturation effect. The peak transmission of the narrow-band FADOF corresponding to 52S1/2, F = 2 → 52P3/2, F′ = 2, 3 crossover transition is 18.6 %. The bandwidth is as wide as 38.9 MHz as the laser frequency changes. After locking, the laser frequency fluctuation is reduced to 1.7 MHz. The all-optical laser locking technique can be improved to much higher accuracy with increased external cavity length. The laser we have realized can provide light exactly resonant with atomic transitions used for other atom-light interaction experiments.
