MakerBot has provided CupCake CNC chassis DXFs on Thingiverse and their own site for some time now, allowing you to cut out your own chassis if you have access to a laser cutter. You can even order the parts from Ponoko if you don't. What I want to know is, what have people done with these designs to customize them?
Thingiverse user syber cut his chassis out of acrylic — apparently the material has a tendency to crack, which is why MakerBot went with wood. There is also the option of engraving using the laser, rather than merely cutting, letting you print your design right on the chassis material. Some people have painted their bot. Marius Kintel created Kali the Makerbot by painting his bot black and red and giving it eyes and teeth, while Philipp Tiefenbacher painted his to look like a giraffe.
What have you done to personalize your bot? Send a link to [email protected] if you'd like to share.

I had a sinking feeling in my stomach as we headed out the door.
What if it didn't work? What if this was my worst idea ever?
I'd wanted to take the plunge last year, but it never seemed to be the right time. I came up with excuses. D came up with excuses. We couldn't commit. But I knew things couldn't continue the way they were.
We moved our tots in together.
And you know what? It's going great.
We had ridiculous power bills last winter (like $500 one month!!!) and that got me fired up to move my tots in together to save on heating. I'd been toying with the idea anyway, as I think sharing a room is good for children: they learn to share and respect each other's space, it helps children learn to sleep through anything, and it's so much fun to have a playmate the instant you wake up in the morning when you're a toddler.
It's been almost a year since that giant power bill o'doom. Yep, it took us that long to pluck up the courage. Our reluctance to have the children share a room was due to sleep. Our sleep and theirs. Chip mostly sleeps through the night, but still has the odd bout of teething/sickness/plotting to take over the world that disrupts his sleep. Plus he wakes an hour earlier than his big sister. Sleep is the most precious commodity in our house, and any deprivation turns each one of us into Grumpy McGrumpy's.
It's only been a few days, but moving the children in together has been brilliant. They've had no trouble getting to sleep, and we're putting Sausage down at the same time as Chip, to make up for her earlier brother-wake-up-call. Sausage is not a morning person, but instead of immediately whining at her dad and I, we get a kick out of hearing her sing songs and pass toys to her brother over the baby monitor.
Sausage had the biggest room so it was a no-brainer to move Chip in with her. Even with Chip's cot now in it there is plenty of space.
Chip's old room is now the children's playroom. I'm cringing as I write that, as 'spare rooms' don't sit well with me. As someone who has worked with the homeless, I'm quite sensitive to living with surplus space when so many people have none.
Anyway, the playroom has Chip's change table, two 'big' toys (doll house and parking garage), and a comfy spot to read and play music.
I do have plans for our spare room. I was an exchange student, and would love to pay it forward to other exchange students. My tots should be sweet to share for the next few years, so I want to take on students who do short exchanges to New Zealand. (Inflicting two toddlers on a teenager for a year, might be a bit much so we'll stick to short-term exchanges for a while.) The room isn't big, but it's adequate.
I know one day that my tots will prefer to have their own space, especially as they are different genders. But I love the idea of sharing our home and culture with others, and hope we can take in a student next year.
Do your tots share a room?

London, UK — October 9, 2015 — Today, Ubisoft® and Disney Interactive announced that action-adventure platformer Gravity Falls: Legend of the Gnome Gemulets will launch on October 23rd in the UK, exclusively on Nintendo 3DS handheld systems.
Gravity Falls: Legend of the Gnome Gemulets is adapted from Disney XD's hit animated series whose latest season premiered to record viewership for the network*. In collaboration with the show's creator, Alex Hirsch, a brand-new and original adventure was created for the game, which places players in a mysterious adventure to help Jeff the Gnome retrieve the ancient Gnome Gemulets and restore magic to the Gnome forest.
Players will play as both Mabel and Dipper Pines in dual-character gameplay, switching between characters at any time to use unique powers and abilities given through the power of Gnome magic. Dipper is bestowed with Gnome Battle Cuffs, which deliver powerful punches at close range, and keeps his trusty flashlight by his side to shed light on the many mysteries in Gravity Falls. Mabel wields the Fleece of Bedazzlement that lets her whip her sweater sleeves to attack monsters from afar, and her grappling hook is at the ready to help access areas otherwise out of reach. Dipper and Mabel will complement one another as they will unravel a mystery to learn more about the inhabitants of Gravity Falls and unlock secrets of the town's past.
Gravity Falls: Legend of the Gnome Gemulets is powered by the UbiArt Framework game engine, allowing players to experience lush backgrounds and beautiful graphics. Players will explore their favourite places from the show, such as the Mystery Shack and the Gnome Forest, like never before.

The Lakers (3-12) have struggled through most of the season against top-notch competition, playing teams with winning or even records almost exclusively.
On Friday, the Lakers will host the young, and injured, Minnesota Timberwolves (3-10).
A number of players are either out or questionable for the Wolves including Ricky Rubio (ankle), Mo Williams (illness), Kevin Martin (wrist), Nikola Pekovic (wrist) and Ronny Turiaf (hip).
The Lakers will be without Xavier Henry (Achilles), Ryan Kelly (hamstring), Steve Nash (back) and Julius Randle (leg).
While the Lakers are expected to pick up free agent forward Earl Clark, the exact time frame is not yet clear.
Key match up
Small forward Andrew Wiggins was originally selected first in the 2014 NBA draft by the Cleveland Cavaliers, but he was sent to Minnesota as part of the Kevin Love trade.
Wiggins is still learning the game at the professional level, averaging 12.6 points and 3.8 rebounds a game.
Thus far he's shooting 41.3% from the field while converting half of his 20 three-point attempts. Wiggins turns the ball over 2.4 times a game while dishing fewer than half that amount in assists (1.1 a night).
Lakers small forward Wesley Johnson will likely draw the assignment against Wiggins -- making sure the rookie doesn't duplicate his career high performance on Saturday of 29 points in a loss to the Sacramento Kings.
Johnson is averaging just 7.6 points a game while shooting 39.1% from the field, but he may be the Lakers' best individual defender this season.
The Wolves will presumably start a back court with UCLA rookie Zach LaVine and veteran Corey Brewer.
LaVine is gifted athletically but is mostly raw potential and nowhere near a steady NBA point guard at this stage of his development.
Brewer is a feisty defender and streaky shooter; another player who seems to play well against the Lakers.
LaVine is averaging 6.0 points and 2.5 assists a game this season. Brewer is at 11.0 points and 2.2 steals.
The Lakers' pair of Jeremy Lin and Kobe Bryant simply need to dominate the match up.
Minnesota is struggling without a number of key veterans. The Lakers need a win and should get it against the vulnerable Wolves.
A loss Friday at home would be demoralizing for a Lakers squad trying to pull up from a very poor start to the season.

Hawthorne Forge
Hey guys and gals,
Due to the tremendous support from everyone, we are starting to get a back log of work here at the forge. This is an awesome and, at the same time, overwhelming experience. As you know, we do all our work by hand and, since it's just the two of us at the shop, it is getting hard to keep up. For that reason, we have decided to close our books for "custom" orders on Oct. 1, 2018. We believe that this will give us time to get caught up with current orders and also allow time to make a few things that we want to do. We're not sure how long we will keep them closed for, but we do intend to open customs back up at some point in the future.
If you would like to order something before Oct. 1, please let us know. We will require a 40% deposit at the time of order. This can be done in person, by PayPal, or by Square.
Once again, thank you all for the continued support and for helping us do what we do! Every order, comment, like, and share really keeps us going and striving to get better and better!
Thank you so much!!!
John & Joe
Hawthorne Forge LLC

AOPA Pilot Magazine
October 2005 Volume 48 / Number 10
Budget Buy: Piper J-3 - Cub Yellow
There's nothing like it
Somewhere in the ether, there is a campfire around which sit those pilots who have long since departed our skies and who gather there to talk about flying. And to a person, I bet those pilots could share with the others a Piper J-3 Cub story.
Perhaps more amazing is that a real campfire crackling at virtually any fly-in that took place this past summer could host a similar collection of memories.
Echoes from those conversations — both real and imagined — came flooding in when we asked in the July issue of AOPA Pilot for feedback from AOPA members who had owned or flown or been otherwise inspired by a Cub. The mailbag was full, each story a gem.
The greatest generation
The tale of the J-3 best begins with one of these stories, in fact — one that highlights how the airplane filled its responsibility for teaching the World War II generation and its progeny to fly.
"I was the youngest of four boys, two sets of twins just 13 months apart," says Wray Fleming, AOPA 126751. "My father practiced medicine on [Maui] and caught the bug of flying in 1941. He began lessons in an Interstate but was interrupted by the bombing of Pearl Harbor and the ensuing World War II." Upon returning to civilian life, his father, known as "Pop," completed his lessons and acquired a J-3. Peter, a friend of Pop's, was an auto-racing enthusiast and flight instructor, and Pop owned a 1939 Ford, which he traded to the man for flight lessons for his sons. "Peter patiently taught us four boys the mysteries of flight; each of us got to solo," says Fleming. "One of the greatest moments in my life was when Peter got out of the J-3 on the side of the runway at Kahului, Maui, Hawaii, and said to me, 'Take her up yourself.' For a 16-year-old, flying up there alone — solely in control, over the cane fields in the Maui skies and tropical winds — was true freedom. Needless to say, Cub yellow is still my favorite airplane color."
Most of the early, prewar J-3s were painted that iconic yellow with a black lightning bolt and bear on the tail — the yellow color originated with the predecessor J-2 model — and to this day that remains the most popular way to dress a Cub. Other models followed, but this paint scheme wasn't often altered until the advent of the PA-11 Cub Special in 1947, its paint a primary blue.
An abbreviated history
The lineage of the J-3 begins before William Piper's partnership with C.G. Taylor in 1930. The Taylor Cubs deserve their own article — and it would take one to describe the complex relationship between Taylor and Piper, as the two worked together and ultimately parted ways (see "Mr. Taylor's Cubs," July 1986 Pilot). One of Taylor's Cubs, the J-2, continued in production by the Piper Aircraft Corp. after the new company set up shop in Lock Haven, Pennsylvania. Piper engineer Walter Jamouneau (who had previously worked for Taylor Aircraft) started in on an update to the J-2 in late 1937; that aircraft, with its extensive changes, became the J-3.
In the four years between late 1937 and November 1941, Piper built 10,000 Cubs, most of them the then-new J-3. To put that into perspective, Cirrus Design, a general aviation aircraft company doing well by modern standards, just delivered its 2,000th SR-series airplane in June 2005, nearly seven years into its manufacturing run.
Of course, the world changed on December 7, 1941, and demand for civilian airplanes plummeted. While Piper went on to re-purpose its J-3 for military use (as an L-4 and similar variants) and continued to produce Cubs after the war, production never again reached those heady prewar levels — in 1941 alone, Piper delivered 3,016 aircraft. But all told, Taylor and Piper built roughly 40,000 airplanes that could carry the name "Cub."
Of that incredible number, more than 5,500 Piper J-3s remain on the FAA's aircraft registry today.
The good news
With numbers like that, combined with the J-3's simple design and low hourly operating costs, if you have enough scratch for a second car, you probably can find a decent J-3, afford to buy it, and afford to fly it. Bring a couple of friends together on the deal, and it can become downright cheap, as far as aviating is concerned. What William Piper intended as an airplane for everyone still is, with a couple of minor caveats.
Myths about Cubs abound. "They are overpriced," grumbles one pilot. "You gotta hand-prop 'em," laments another. "Too much to insure a taildragger — you'll ground loop it for sure," wails the finalist in the trio, stroking the last swath of icing on this anti-Cub cake.
But each myth can be answered with a positive slice of the truth, as I discovered as I dug into the Cub story.
Cub master
An authorative myth-debunker is Clyde Smith Jr., who is known in classic aircraft circles as The Cub Doctor. Smith's father was an experimental test pilot for Piper in the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s; Smith Jr. was a longtime Piper employee until it closed the Lock Haven plant in 1984. He remains an advisor for the Cub Club (the type club for Piper Cubs), and is a walking encyclopedia of all fabric Pipers. His restorations of fabric-covered Pipers have won awards, and he conducts seminars on their restoration.
Type clubs in general have proven critical to the longevity of many classic aircraft, and the Cub Club is no different. Current Cub Club leaders Steve and Sharon Krog took over the club and the publication of its newsletter in 2000 from the previous owners, John and Alice Bergeson, who started it in 1984. The newsletter, which is chock-full of technical advice on Cub acquisition, maintenance, and flying technique, is published every other month. Contact the club through its Web site (www.cub-club.com) or by telephone at 262/966-7627.
Because the J-3 meets the new light-sport-aircraft guidelines, there has been a resurgence of interest in the airplane — both in the original and in remakes of the design (look for AOPA Pilot features about these modern Cubs in future issues). And while the new light sport aircraft that claim "Cub" in their titles have made significant upgrades, the essence of the design — the wing, the geometry, the flying characteristics — remains true to the original. With so many reasonable airframes (in price and in condition) to ferret out and rescue with restoration — or simple upkeep — many pilots are finding that the old Cub is still the best Cub. Smith notes that 2005 has been the best year so far for his seminars, and he fields about six calls every day from pilots and aircraft owners with questions regarding restoration of fabric-covered Pipers.
In fact, the airplane flown for the photos that accompany this story belongs to a pilot who restored his J-3 just so he could continue to fly it as a sport pilot — and hopefully his son will learn to fly this airplane too. All Bob Milkie wants out of flying is a conveyance to help him enjoy the long summer days in Wisconsin, and to share the joy of flying with his 8-year-old son, Max.
A sport pilot's tale
Milkie bought the core of his hangar on the airport at Crivitz, Wisconsin, for $2,500, which he then expanded (the hangar's original width was 35 feet — the Cub's wingspan is anywhere from 35 feet 2 inches to 35 feet 4 inches, depending on whom you ask). He finished out the inside, plumbed in electricity and water, and built a translucent door that lets in just the right amount of light in the winter to bring the temperature up to 50 degrees Fahrenheit. That's no small thing considering there are several months of the year that you need skis to navigate the grass runway. (The airport has a paved strip as well.)
In this hangar, in 2004, he completed a project that he's been working at since 1998. Those who have restored an elderly airplane may recognize pieces of the story, but suffice it to say that there were some false starts along the way, and the good parts were brought into being by the kindness of those commonly good folks in our small GA community.
Like the serendipitous involvement of mechanic Charlie Hatz. Hatz's father, who built the Hatz biplane and also restored a couple of Cubs in his day, had passed along the wrenching bug to his son Charlie. When Charlie heard of Milkie's project, he helped him bring it to completion through many long months in the hangar at Crivitz.
One evening, Milkie took a short break from the work to walk over to the counter to make a pot of coffee. He glanced at the bulletin board in front of him and saw a photo of one of the Cubs that Hatz senior had restored, a photo that Charlie had stuck there in the corner of the frame. The photo, faded and yellowed, taken in the 1970s, showed a pretty yellow Cub parked on a patch of grass — the classic summer shot.
Scrutinizing the photo while Charlie continued on the airplane, Milkie asked Charlie, "Hey, was this airplane one of your dad's?"
Charlie, without looking up from his work, answered, "That's your airplane."
Milkie did a double take, and squinted at the photo. Sure enough, that was his N number, NC31085. "So — ," and he looked over at Hatz working away on his airplane — the same airplane that Hatz's father had worked on more than 30 years ago.
That's what Cubs do. They are time machines. They bring people into flying. They keep generations connected. And they do that job just as well today as they did when Milkie's Cub first rolled out the doors at Lock Haven 65 years ago.
Personal history
Because the J-3 came out in such high numbers, it's no surprise that many pilots have a connection to the airplane. My first "Cub" ride was in a Super Cub shortly after I got my private certificate in 1988, and I did the spin training required for my flight instructor certificate in a Super Cub five years later.
But my first J-3 flight was one I'll always remember with clarity. The setting probably resembles that of many such first flights: an early summer morning, with a kind instructor throwing over the wooden prop, the ticking of the little Continental as we taxied out to greet the day, a short hop over to a grass strip shared with ultralights. Several bounces came to conclusion before I started to get the hang of the airplane's casual marriage of aileron, rudder, and elevator.
I got back into the J-3 this past summer, both to fly the airplane for the photos on these pages, and to spend some time really learning to fly a fond acquaintance.
Taking Rich and Ginger Davidson up on a longstanding invitation, I visited the couple's privately owned public-use grass strip, Lee Bottom Flying Field, near Hanover, Indiana. The Davidsons offer tailwheel training and a safe harbor for classic aircraft.
Flying the J-3 again, I learned some things.
I learned that there is a little muscle in my shoulder that I don't use at any other time than when landing the Cub, and when that puppy gets sore, my ability to keep the stick back all the way in the flare deteriorates.
I learned that you can feel the difference between a slip to lose altitude and a slip to correct for a crosswind much more readily in the Cub — not just in the seat of your pants but also in the change of wind across your cheek. (Of course, we're flying with the door and windows open, a state that shouldn't be altered from May to September when flying a Cub in most parts of the country.)
I learned that there's a time when squaring off the base-to-final turn is not only not required, but frowned upon. When flying from the back, as one solos a Cub, you want to keep as much of the touchdown zone in sight as possible during the landing process. In the J-3, you make this a J-turn — and if you do it right, your rollout from the turn coincides with your arrival over the first few feet of grass.
I learned that there's always plenty of time to just go up for a few minutes before supper. With few systems to check, there's little preamble to flying a J-3, which means you don't need to invest so much in preflight and postflight that it wipes out all your flying time when that time is short.
Basic maneuvers
Our first lesson was in ground handling. Instructor Rich Davidson gave me a task: to slalom the white cones lining the runway at Lee Bottom. The challenge? I got the stick and rudder and heel brakes; Davidson got the throttle.
Within a minute, I had tossed a cone several feet. "Your name's on that one," he said, and I laughed, knowing I'd been set up — a well-timed burst of power sealed the cone's fate. My ego appropriately deflated, and a lesson learned about the relationship between speed and the arc of turn, I was in the proper mindset to press on.
On takeoff, Davidson talked about using "the force" to guide the airplane during the critical moments of acceleration, when the airplane's nose blocked the view as speed over the ground increased. Keeping the airplane pointed between the banks of tall grass and shrubs that lined the runway (and later, between the rows of July-high cornstalks at a neighbor's airstrip) was an act of faith.
As it turned out, my first takeoffs (with almost no forward pressure on the stick) were good — for a short-field performance. A little more forward pressure once I felt the tail get light with lift led to a less aggressive takeoff and better visibility over the nose.
Flying the J-3 requires you to lead with the rudder just a bit — there are airplanes of its vintage with far more adverse yaw to overcome. And while the airplane's climb rate (with the 65-horsepower Continental A-65 up front) won't set your hair on fire, you're not climbing that high anyway. A Cub is meant to be flown low. On a summer evening, this means within shouting distance of a friend on the ground, given the right circumstances. Not that we'd know this for a fact.
Stalls are benign, and spins come about in a lazy fashion. This is a trainer from the days when trainers spun on a daily basis. Just don't completely horse up the recovery inputs, and you'll come right out. In fact, if you hand control back over to the airplane, you'll also come out, given a reasonable amount of altitude.
Landing is where the challenge lies, and Davidson summed up everything I needed to know with this: "Land straight." As long as there's no sideways impulse for the airplane to follow, the gear is happy to absorb quite a bit of bounce (as I proved several times). The key is avoiding drift — the J-3, like other tailwheel airplanes, won't correct for you like a Piper Cherokee might. Any bad habits in this area will land you in the weeds.
However, during our practice sessions, I found a problem that challenged me more — keeping my heels off the brakes. Pointing my toes more seemed to help. For this reason Davidson advises wearing thin-soled shoes. No boots in the Cub, please.
Cub bugaboos
Accidents involving Cubs in the past 10 years include several ground loops, a couple instances of fuel exhaustion, low-level maneuvering, and two airshow blunders.
Two noncertificated pilots have come to grief in the Cub over the past decade — perhaps because it is relatively easy to fly, the airplane lends itself to such "do it yourselfers."
Things to note: Understanding the fuel tank capacities, the fuel gauge — a wire that sticks out of the cowling is attached to a float and gives an immediate reading (albeit not a very precise one) of the relative amount of fuel in the tank — and the fuel selectors can help you avoid fuel-exhaustion and -starvation accidents. In a low-powered airplane, turning the carb heat off during a takeoff or go-around is critical — and turning it on at the appropriate time more critical still, since the Continental carburetors do ice up.
The airplane's slow stall speed means it lands slow but also that weather and winds affect it more. "It's like a kite," says Milkie, on the prospect of flying the J-3 in gusty conditions. You feel every lump as the fabric-and-wood wings negotiate the air. A strong gust on landing that is recoverable in a tricycle-gear airplane — or a heavier conventional-gear one — can upset the J-3 irrevocably. While the low-level-maneuvering accidents are usually serious or fatal, many of the others aren't — a benefit of that same slow stall speed. Whatever you hit, you won't hit it very fast.
More good news? The airplane burns at the very most 5 gallons per hour — and can be coaxed to sip less. This is why the standard 12-gallon header tank is adequate, if not ideal, though wing tanks are a common upgrade. Smith points out that a 1985 airworthiness directive addressed problems of fuel contamination that occurred as rainwater entered the header tank through the stainless-steel wire fuel gauge. Airplanes that are in compliance with the AD have fuel drains installed at the low point of each tank — those drains are not original equipment.
Insuring the J-3 — as long as you're not giving instruction in it — won't�wipe you out financially, since the hull value is relatively low, and the liability envelope relatively small. Since most accidents in the series tend only to hurt the airplane, with a reasonable amount of training and some tailwheel time you can be insured.
Longevous Cubs
Stephen Moddle, AOPA 158538, tells of 2038M, a J-3 he flew from Zahn's Airport on Long Island in the late 1960s and early 1970s. He eventually bought 38M in 1982, and donated it in 2004 to the Piper Aviation Museum in Lock Haven — the airplane had more than 21,000 hours on it when he signed over the papers.
It's not a showpiece, but an example of a working J-3 that gave back to a lot of pilots before coming to rest at Lock Haven. Keeping it company in the museum are many classic Pipers and a detailed history of the corporation.
Piper pilots make a pilgrimage every summer to the site of the old plant and the museum, a trip referred to as "Sentimental Journey." If you want to see a bundle of classic Pipers gather in one place at one time, this is your weekend. Event details are on the Piper Museum Web site (www.pipermuseum.com). Another fly-in, Wings Over Piper, is held later in the summer at Lock Haven; details can be found online (www.wingsoverpiper.com).
J-3s for sale
A review of the marketplace reveals a number of J-3s for sale, varying from projects untouched for decades to recently restored champions. Taking a look at the baseline J-3 — a model recovered in the past 10 years, with a midtime Continental A- or C-65 engine and no electrical system — prices average around $29,000. A bigger engine commands more, as do upgrades such as generators and starters (the J-3 I flew at Lee Bottom had a generator and starter), and any recent restoration.
While one could easily argue that you can buy a decent two-place conventional-gear aircraft for less than you can a Cub, the market seems well able to bear the approximately $5,000 to $10,000 premium accorded the J-3. Perhaps an Aeronca Champ flies better, and the early Cessnas and later Luscombes boast full electrical systems, and Cessna 140s have flaps (oh, the technology!), but the appeal of the J-3 holds strong, and holds its value. Selling today for more than 10 times the price of when they were new, the Cub series shows no signs of losing ground.
Smith notes that it "might be worth paying a bit more for the Cub because repair is just a phone call away," as compared to other factory-orphaned classics. While the manufacturer no longer fabricates J-3s or Cub parts, the airplane is well supported by Univair and The Wag-Aero Group, which manufacture and vend parts for just about the entire airplane. There are a couple of unique items that Smith himself fabricates — such as the black rubber handgrip for the control stick emblazoned with Piper's P — that any owner can order directly from him or through dealers.
On a prepurchase inspection, Smith recommends paying very close attention to the tailwheel assembly. Davidson agrees. You can learn a lot about how the airplane has been flown by the condition of the spring assemblies and the tailwheel itself. On the tailwheel, compression springs are preferable to tension springs, since you can't easily stretch them out — they compress to a limit. The spring assemblies should have only a little slack, not much, for good positive control of the tailwheel. And there shouldn't be undue wear in the holes where the spring linkage attaches.
Though much of the J-3 has escaped the dissimilar-metals corrosion that plagues other aircraft of its generation, Smith notes an area of growing concern around the aileron control horn, where a steel bracket is mated to an aluminum spar. He also looks for Univair's sealed lift struts — those are a plus.
Of course, a hard look at the airplane's overall condition is critical. "Some of them are so crooked, they've been ground looped so many times and put back together. But a lot of them will still fly hands-off. It's amazing," says Smith.
Cub a long time
"To the uninitiated, you can't explain it; to those who know, no explanation is necessary." This truism is from Jack Lakeman, who bought his "Super" J-3 (with a Lycoming 108 engine) from Marion Cole (head of the famed Cole clan of aerobatic pilots) in 1970. His wife, Sylvia, learned to fly in this J-3, along with his younger son. The Lakemans still have their J-3, and there can be no better testimony to the brand than the fact they have owned their Cub for decades — and they have a lot of company.

Hear Mike Brignardello and Chuck Rainey's New Song "New Years Day"
Mike Brignardello is a Nashville session bassist who has played with the likes of Blake Shelton, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Trace Adkins, Vince Gill, Emerson Hart, Tim McGraw, Amy Grant, Faith Hill, Jewel, Luke Bryan, Darius Rucker, Duane Eddy, and many others.
The legendary Chuck Rainey and studio ace Brignardello team up to deliver a grooving version of Brignardello's new instrumental, 'New Year's Day'. "I met Chuck a couple of years ago at a dinner at a friend's house. When I heard he was visiting Nashville this past summer I sent him my song demo. He liked the tune so I rounded up Greg Morrow on drums, and Steve Nathan on keyboards and the four of us cut the track. Keyboards, drums, and two bass players. Just like God intended."
"The title was inspired by an annual dinner Victor Wooten hosts on new year's day. He gathers bass players and other people from the music industry, and that annual gathering inspired me to write New Years Day." The track features Rainey's signature slides and his percolating rhythmic sensibility, while Morrow lays down a slinky groove under Brignardello's melodies. Nathan's keyboards bob and weave throughout, and his horn arrangement evokes shades of The Dan. "It was one of the best studio days I've ever had. It seem like we laughed our way through the session. And every time I hear the track it reminds me of driving down the PCH on a sunny day." Maybe New Years Day….

Software development is not manufacturing. You can't take a system designed for building cars and use it to manage software projects. Building a car is a series of identical tasks which don't change as long as things are going well. There's one best way to perform each task. Software development is knowledge work. Every step is different, every time. It's about discovering the best way to do things, and then discovering better ways. It's creative work, not subject to the rules of manufacturing process management.
Yes. Of course. I agree. But I'm getting really tired of hearing it.
This post is going to be in the form of a rant. Not just because I need it; that would be just selfish. I'm choosing the format of a rant because this needs to be said once and for all in a way that will make an impression.
Because the Kanban Method is not the Toyota Production System. No more than Scrum is rugby.
You never hear anyone saying that software development is not a game. You can't take a tactic designed for deciding which team gets control of a leather ball and use it to manage software projects. Forcing your way through a concentrated group of blockers is a physical challenge while software development is knowledge work.
I can imagine that the names of two tools frequently applied (often at the same time) to improving value delivery by software companies had similar origins.
Jeff Sutherland and Ken Schwaber, the inventors of Scrum might have been rugby fans, or at least familiar with the sport. Seeing eight people gather every day into a tight circle to work together (the daily standup) might have reminded them of something, like a scrum in rugby. Beyond that, the analogy makes no sense. In rugby, a scrum is used to restart the play after it's been stopped by an official for some minor infraction of the rules. No one ever says, "we can't use Scrum in our software team because we aren't restarting work after someone got in trouble for breaking company policy." Everyone knows that's not the kind of scrum we're talking about.
David Anderson, inventor of the Kanban Method, might have seen that cards in a stack or slots on a board make visible things that are normally invisible, like demand or capacity. Not unlike the way they had to find to make things like capacity in a software development system visible and therefore, manageable. What are those those things called? In Japanese, the word kanban means a visual signal. In Chinese, it means a signpost or a board. So what to call a new tool which incorporates a board full of visual signals?
Source: Scrum & Kanban
Or Scrum is related to rugby in the same way that the Kanban Method is related to the Toyota Production System. Both borrowed one word based on a loose association. That's all.
So indeed, Toyota does use boards on the wall full of visual signals of invisible things that they want to manage. Rugby teams do sometimes put their heads together and work as a group to get something done. But there the similarities end. Can we just leave it at that, please?

The Asian population grew faster than any other race group in the United States between 2000 and 2010, according to new Census data released last week. This was observed for the population who reported Asian alone (increased 43 percent), as well as for the population who reported Asian alone or in combination with another race (increased 46 percent).
The top five states that experienced the fastest growth were Nevada with 116 percent, Arizona with 95 percent, North Carolina with 85 percent, North Dakota with 85 percent, and Georgia with 83 percent.
"The Asian American community is very, very heterogeneous," said Census Bureau Director Robert Groves at a presentation last week. "Thinking of this as one group–you do at your own peril. Because you end up making mistakes of judgment and I think these data show that very, very, clearly. And, the more we tell that message of heterogeneity the better off we are and the better off the country will be,"

Medvedev awards South Ossetian war heroes
Since the city of Vladikavkaz played such a crucial part in the South Ossetian war – both in terms of deploying troops and hosting refugees – Medvedev deemed it appropriate to mark the war's anniversary there.
During his visit, he attended a commemorative parade and awarded soldiers who took part in the conflict.
Those awarded were not only high ranking officers, but also regular privates from the infantry for whom the August war was their first armed conflict. Many of them lost friends in the hostilities.
Lieutenant Ivan Levada said he had never been more nervous in his life than when he was waiting for his name to be called during the ceremony on Saturday as he was to receive the award from Russia's commander in chief.
His battalion was one of the first to enter Tskhinval after the beginning of the Georgian assault.
"Military aggression in South Ossetia led to the transformation of the Caucasus political map," he continued. "Russia's decision to recognize the independence of South Ossetia and Abkhazia was the only option to protect people in the region. I stress that this decision is final and will not be reconsidered."
A couple of days ago, Medvedev stated during an interview that sending troops into South Ossetia was the most difficult and most dramatic decision he had to take in his life.
However, to this day he remains certain that it was the right decision under the circumstances, and that it saved thousands of lives.

Course Outline
It is feasible, practical, and prudent to explore new ideas, evaluate alternatives, and peek into the future using "what if" analytics. Common analytics techniques focus on statistics, but business managers often need more decision-making guidance and fewer statistics. Simulation techniques help to identify, analyze, and compare various scenarios and to evaluate a range of options by playing the what-if game.
A well-rounded analytics organization includes analysts who are skilled with simulation, and these people often become the most in-demand analysts. Combining models, assumptions, and decision variables yields helpful insights for choosing the best path into the future.
Simulation models enhance understanding of key behavior patterns, leading to increased confidence and the ability to define and achieve key business objectives. Implementing simulation as a core part of business analytics practice simply makes sense. Business questions starting with "why" and extending to "what if" can be answered with certainty and clarity.
This course provides an introduction to simulation analytics. Topics include definitions, general system concepts, modeling techniques, and application areas. Pragmatic examples are provided throughout the course. A framework to position simulation in the broader BI program is also provided.

Extraordinary Opportunities For
Fans and Star Trek Stars To Play, Party and Bond Together
During Each Weeklong Immersive Experience
Miami, Florida (May 9, 2017) – Star Trek: The Cruise II has commissioned an entire crew of fan favorites to man the ship when it launches two voyages in January 2018. Host George Takei will be joined by nearly 20 stars from the film and television productions of the groundbreaking franchise, including Vaughn Armstrong, Rene Auberjonois, Casey Biggs, LeVar Burton, Jeffrey Combs, Michael Dorn, John de Lancie, Jonathan Frakes, Max Grodenchik, Gates McFadden, Robert O'Reilly, John Paladin, Ethan Phillips, Robert Picardo, Armin Shimerman, Brent Spiner, Connor Trinneer, and Nana Visitor. Star Trek fans aboard the cruises will spend a week among the iconic actors, interacting with them during inspired events and impromptu encounters. Produced by Entertainment Cruise Productions, LLC, under license by CBS Consumer Products, Voyage 1 of Star Trek: The Cruise II will sail from January 5-11, 2018, with Voyage 2 following January 11-17, 2018, both traveling from Miami to Roatan (Honduras), Harvest Caye (Belize) and Costa Maya (Mexico).
STAR TREK: The Cruise II is a Star Trek experience unlike any other this side of the Gamma Quadrant. The six-day voyage on the spectacular Norwegian Jade boldly goes where no one has gone before, packed with special Star Trek-themed shows, events and programs including:
- A stellar crew of iconic Star Trek actors and personalities
- Incredible theme nights like Captain Sulu's Soiree
- Interactive celebrity hosted events like the Klingon Pub Crawl, wine tastings, cooking demonstrations and more
- Actor led excursions at each port
- Vow renewals led by a Star Trek star
- Nightly shows performed by celebrity guests
- Autograph and photograph sessions with your favorite Star Trek crew members
- A Star Trek: The Cruise Museum exhibiting genuine pieces and classic memorabilia from the archive
- A make-up artist transforming guests into Star Trek characters
- Live Music including avant-garde synth pop band Information Society
Almost every event includes an interactive element which makes the Voyage a unique, personal and immersive Star Trek experience.
"This will be the most interactive experience ever created between Star Trek fans and actors," says Star Trek: The Cruise II host George Takei. "Come aboard and experience the voyage!" Every guest aboard Star Trek: The Cruise II will be offered the opportunity to take a group photo with the icon (one per cabin).
The ship will be redesigned to feature sites inspired by the television show and films, including "Sandrine's II," the sister restaurant of Chez Sandrine (Star Trek: Voyager), and "13 Forward" (the Officer's Bar influenced by 10 Forward and best described by Captain Picard as the "hub of the ship's social activity").
Over 4,000 fans have already pre-registered for cabins aboard the 2018 cruises, with both expected to sell out. Cabin prices start at $1300 per person, and include all meals, tickets to mainstage events, parties as well as port charges, taxes and onboard gratuities.

Preppers. Survivalists. Bex prefers to think of herself as a realist who plans to survive, but regardless of labels, they're all sure of the same thing: a crisis is coming. And when it does, Bex will be ready. She's planned exactly what to pack, she knows how to handle a gun, and she'll drag her family to safety by force if necessary. When her older brother discovers Clearview, a group that takes survival just as seriously as she does, Bex is intrigued. While outsiders might think they're a delusional doomsday group, she knows there's nothing crazy about being prepared. But Bex isn't prepared for Lucy, who is soft and beautiful and hates guns. As her brother's involvement with some of the members of Clearview grows increasingly alarming and all the pieces of Bex's life become more difficult to juggle, Bex has to figure out where her loyalties really lie. In a gripping new novel, E. M. Kokie questions our assumptions about family, trust, and what it really takes to survive.

|Sat 9 Feb 2013, 1:00pm–7:00pm
Featuring The Phoenix Foundation, Lawrence Arabia & Five Mile Town
Matua Wines is proud to announce that Music at Matua is happening for the very first time on Saturday 9th February, 2013 - just 30 minutes west of Auckland City, in the sumptuous surrounds of the Matua Wines Vineyard.
Free 3 track download of the artists playing available here: https://soundcloud.com/loopcrew/sets/music-at-matua
Renowned for their innovative vision and trailblazing spirit, the award-winning wine label is bringing together a critically-acclaimed lineup of bands including:
The Phoenix Foundation, Lawrence Arabia and Five Mile Town.
The Phoenix Foundation
With multiple Tui Awards, acclaimed gold albums and movie soundtracks to their name, as well as recent rave reviews in Europe, The Phoenix Foundation are one of New Zealand's most innovative and respected bands. From intelligent and infectiously catchy pop/rock gems, to epic, psychedelic prog rock, their music is a glorious pop polyglot: sunbleached harmonies, chiming guitars, progressive synthscapes and subliminal rhythms, combined at the service of consistently high-grade songwriting, yet the result never sounds like anyone else.
Lawrence Arabia
After a busy year, which included releasing his evocative third album, The Sparrow, touring New Zealand, Australia, Europe, and North America, Silver Scroll and Taite Music Award winning artist, Lawrence Arabia, will be making a welcome return. The songwriter (known as James Milne to his friends) will delight ears with his critically acclaimed repertoire that traverses harmony-laden classic pop songs to measured minimalist works that draw on the dreamy and atmospheric late-sixties work of Scott Walker and Serge Gainsbourg.
Five Mile Town
Set to release their debut album in early 2013, young, up-and-coming Auckland folk-rock group, Five Mile Town, will be showcasing new songs and illustrating why they have garnered such a healthy dose of praise for their high-energy shows. With an impressive reputation that seemingly grows by the day, Five Mile Town's intelligent, modern folk songs have been officially recognized with a prestigious 2012 Silver Scroll nomination for their song "Fatal Flaw", which featured on their debut LP.
To complement the day, continue Matua's ongoing environmental initiatives and have a positive effect on the local community, multi-award winning charity Sustainable Coastlines is coordinating a clean-up of Muriwai Beach prior to the event. Simply meet at 10.30am at the Muriwai Surf Club at the south end of the beach to sign-in and collect clean-up equipment. Volunteers are also invited to bring their own 4WD vehicles for a great opportunity to clean-up and explore this epic west coast beach. To register your vehicle and find out more, check out the event on Sustainable Coastlines' website here: http://www.sustainablecoastlines.org/Kia_Ora/Sustainable_Coastlines___Events___Muriwai_Beach_Clean-up.html
For those travelling from the city, event buses will be leaving from the Tournament Carpark located at 34 Sale St, Auckland (opposite Sale St bar) with parking available (Tournament parking rates apply) should they need it. The first bus will be leaving at 12pm and returning to the same location from the venue at 7:30pm.
Head west and experience Music at Matua this February - the perfect summer celebration, which blends the best of New Zealand wine, food and music in the picturesque surrounds of Matua Wines.

This is great! I had no idea that today is World Tennis Day. I am going to share this article with my grandma, who loves tennis and still plays every morning. This makes me want to get back out there and play again. I am quite rusty! Thanks for the motivation Susan :)March 4, 2013 - 2:03pm
Today is World Tennis Day and the tennis world is celebrating with exhibition matches, introducing the sport to kids and generally paying homage to a great sport that can be played from ages 2 to 99.
There are many reasons to play tennis and here are five good ones:
1. Physical Health
Tennis is a very physical sport. For amateur competitive tennis, the only time movement ceases in a one to three hour time period is a 90-second water break every two games.
Physical fitness is important and if you are not fit in the beginning, you will be in a short period of time and not even feel like you are "working out". Keeping weight gain at bay is important so that movement on the court can be swift.
But unlike a sport like gymnastics, nobody has to be all muscle or thin to play tennis. Larger people can use their strength to their advantage, and frequent playing can keep weight gain at bay for those prone to packing on the pounds.
Tennis is a workout the entire body. It's an aerobic and cardio exercise (keeping the waistline healthy) and also strengthens leg and arm muscles.
Playing tennis encourages good breathing techniques because a 25-second lapse is all you get between shots. It's not a sport for those that don't like to move but it's so much fun you won't realize the calories being used up and the lean muscle being gained!
2. Mental Health
Tennis isn't just about physical health. Playing tennis is mentally taxing.
When playing singles, it's just you against your opposition. You're on your own, which makes it both thrilling and terrifying in the best possible way!
Your mind is constantly focusing on strategy, mentally psyching out your opponent and being able to change your play in an instant if you can see it's working against you.
In doubles, tennis becomes a really fast game with shots being lobbed, volleyed, ground stroked and smashed against you and your partner.
You need to work well and fast with your partner and again, focus on strategy and keeping mentally strong, especially when not doing well.

If anyone still sees the old design, be sure to refresh your browser. Then you should see the new design.
Super PixlBit 2.0 Turbo Edition
Yes that's right, we're back again with minimal upgrades... sort of.
As you know if you visit PixlBit, version 2.0 launched just a few months back. Despite the upgrade, we still weren't satisfied and neither were our readers. Thankfully, one such reader stepped up in an incredible way. Vic Roman provided the design for the brand new site template you are looking at right now, as well as all of the logo designs. His contribution has given PixlBit some incredible pop and helps further give the site its own unique identity.
Please enjoy the new template and if you have any issues or suggestions, please feel free to post them here in the comments so that we can fix them posthaste. And again, from the whole PixlBit staff, thanks Vic Roman, your contribution and generosity is unparalleled.

Recently I was challenged by SACO (you can read more about them here – take a look if you're planning a trip!) to create two different makeup looks using only five products. Sounds impossible right? Turns out you just need the right tools…
As a lover of all things beauty it was difficult to select the chosen few but sometimes, you have to travel light. When I'm running round a city or relaxing by the pool, the last thing I want is heavy makeup so I took the plunge and picked my top 5!
1. Clinique CC Cream in Light, £28
2. Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette, £37
3. Benefit Hoola Bronzer (mine is sample size), £23.50 full size
4. Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara (also sample size), £19 full size
5. MAC Velvet Teddy Lipstick, £15
I was a little worried about having no concealer or primer for this look so I made sure my skin was super hydrated by drinking lots of water and moisturising first. I love CC cream as it has the light coverage of bb whilst balancing your skin tone to create a smooth, even base. I've been using this product religiously for well over a year now. I tested out the Smashbox CC Cream but wasn't too impressed. It definitely didn't have the moisturising qualities of Clinique's version.
I used my go to Hoola bronzer to give my cheeks some definition. My family have finally clicked that I'm a little bit benefit obsessed so I still have some miniatures left over from Christmas and my birthday! I'm also in a very committed relationship when it comes to the Naked 3 palette from Urban Decay…
I used Strange (not pictured) and Limit to create my bright day time look and added Mugshot and Blackheart (as eyeliner) for a smokey eyed night time! Dark eyeshadows make perfect eyeliner substitutes. I also used Buzz to add colour to my cheeks, strange to highlight and Darkside to fill my brows- so multifunctional!
You know a mascara that claims to be 'better than sex' isn't messing about. It's taken over They're Real in the mascara stakes as its just ridiculously good at lengthening AND thickening my lashes – no more of one or the other! It's a definite make up bag staple. I also prefer mini mascaras as the shelf life on them isn't great so you get just enough and don't have to throw half the tube away.
Velvet Teddy is my current obsession. I've been wearing it with the Soar lip liner also from MAC. They both really hard to get hold of right now (thank you Kylie Jenner) but there are some great dupes floating around like Revlon's matte lipstick Mauve It Over 003.
Here's my day time look: soft eyes and a gentle glow!
And night time: bold brows and smokey shades
What do you think of the looks I created? Are you team Day or team Night? What are you top 5 makeup products? Let me know in the comments below!
Love Lucinda xx
P.s. Don't forget to enter my huge Christmas advent calendar giveaway with 25 prizes including Benefit Makeup and a Topshop giftcard!
The Naked 3 palette would definitely be in my top 5, you can create so many looks with those eyshadows x
If there are two products that I just need to bite the bullet and buy it is one of the Naked pallets and Velvet Teddy!
Love the looks.
Beka. xo
I really want to try the Benefit Hoola bronzer, it is such a pretty and non orange shade! I love the colours you've used for your eyes too, I definitely prefer lighter eyes over darker smokey ones right now.
India / Touchscreens & Beautyqueens
I have the naked 3 SBD I love it I love the look you've created 🙂
Ooh, I would have a tough time with choosing. Hoola is definitely on my list too though! Awesome idea!
A faux-ginger, gin drinking, digital marketing gal with a thing for food styling. That was basically my old Tinder bio... Living in Leeds, I'm forever heading out for dinner, buying too many clothes, spending 50% of my money on ubers and, as of now, putting my stamp on my new apartment!

How to Free Up Space In Your Garage
As the keeper of everything that is really not worthy to go into the house, your garage can be one of the messiest places in your home. Why? Because it's viewed as nothing more than a storage area and a place for your car to live. If you're like most people, your garage is probably a jumble of tools, old toys, sporting equipment, and just plain trash. While this is not the time to drag everything out to the driveway and do a complete clean (save that for a Saturday in the spring), there are ...
Review: Black and Decker ASI300 Air Station Inflator
If you've ever had to drive around looking for a gas station with an air pump so you could use it to inflate the tires that went flat on bikes, you know how irritating that can be. Of course, tires on a bicycle aren't the only reason why it's handy to have an inflator like the Black and Decker ASI300 Air Station Inflator. You can plug the inflator into a regular socket to use an inflator around the house, but you can also take it with you wherever you go. Nothing is worse than being at the water park and ...
Review: Allied Tools 49030 180-Piece Home Maintenance Tool Set
Needing a tool and not having it when you need to repair something in your home or you want to get something done to add quality to your home can be very annoying. Even if you're not someone who does a lot of fix-it yourself projects around the house, a tool kit is the kind of thing that's there when you need it. It's one of those things where it's better to have around and not use it than to need it and not have it. The Allied Tools 49030 180-Piece Home Maintenance Tool Set ...
Review: Denali 115-Piece Home Repair Tool Kit
Even if you don't think of yourself as being someone who's particularly handy around the house, you can't be without a set of tools. It's always better to be prepared than to be caught unaware. Buying your tools a piece at a time can get quite expensive if you do it that way. If you need three or four tools at once, it can end up breaking your budget. Or, you could end up buying tools that are not the good quality that they really need to be because they're more expensiv...

Difference between Fixed website vs. Fluid website vs. Adaptive website vs. Responsive website
Now a day, browsing a website has become exceedingly easy as the all modern gadgets like smart phones, laptops, desktops and even a television has an internet connection. So as a web designer, you just can't design and code a website by targeting a specific device. Because you will never know devices that people will use to browse your website. In this article, you will find the difference between fixed website layout, Fluid website layout, Adaptive website layout and Responsive website layout, which will help you to decide about the type of layout you want to adopt for your next web designing project.
Fixed website layout
This kind of website layout has a set or a fixed width (usually in pixels) which means if you view it in different kinds of devices, the overall look of your website won't be affected. It may cause the unwanted scrolling in left and right side of the layout as it has set widths which may bigger than the device's screen resolution. It is not suitable for small screen devices like Smartphone and sometimes even tablets.
Fluid website layout
Fluid website layouts are built using percentages instead of pixels for widths. This makes it more flexible while you are viewing it in different kinds of device. By making the widths in percentages, you will be able to maintain the overall look of your website across all devices. By all means a better method than fixed website layouts.
Adaptive website layouts
It is a process of making many layouts for a single website whether you are using percentages or pixels for widths. This means there may be 2, 3 or 4 different kind of layouts for the same website and these all are handled by CSS and JavaScript. You will see a completely different layout while you are browsing it on your phone or tablet than on a desktop or a laptop. The JavaScript detects your device type and accordingly displays the relevant CSS. For example, Facebook uses the adaptive website layout. You can also handle an adaptive website by just using CSS media queries from where you will be able to target a specific resolution's device.
Responsive website layouts
Responsive website layouts use fluid grids (widths in percentages) and CSS media queries to control the website layouts and its contents while you scale it up and down on your browser or browse in different devices. In responsive layouts, everything acts like fluids from images to videos. It builds up using EMs and Percentages which gives it fluidity across all devices. Responsive layout is probably the most successful web trend till date and you can hope to find it in almost every new upcoming website.
No matter where you are from or what kind of project you are working on, it is always good to keep in mind that your design should be enjoyable from each and every kind of screen size. Whether you use fluid, adaptive or responsive layouts, try to keep it as flexible as possible. It will certainly take some time, but don't lose hope and keep coding. Let us know which kind of layout you are using for your next project. If you have any queries regarding types of layouts, you can leave it in the comment box bellow.
