Space Needle
I found this great old band yesterday called Space Needle. Apparently they existed for three minutes in the mid-90s. But luckily for them, and for me, someone heard a song and put them on a TV show I watched last night.

What everyone needs to do is go to their myspace page and listen to the song Never Lonely Alone. It’s great.  I spent all day listening to it.

They have this other song Before I Lose My Style which is really nice too. A sweet little home footage video of people from the early 60s swimming around and stuff.

Dixon Again Top Qualifier In Top Fuel

Larry Dixon closed the gap between himself and Top Fuel points-leader Tony Schumacher with his fourth straight No. 1 qualifier on Saturday at the NHRA Virginia Nationals.

The other provisional No. 1 qualifiers at the 22nd of 24 races in the NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series were Jack Beckman (Funny Car) and Mike Edwards (Pro Stock).

The NHRA Virginia Nationals is the fourth race in NHRA’s six-race playoff, the Countdown to 1. The playoff concludes with races in Las Vegas (Oct. 29-Nov. 1) and Pomona, Calif. (Nov. 12-15).

Top Fuel:

Dixon, who notched his eighth No. 1 qualifier of 2009 and 39th of his career in the Al-Anabi dragster, sliced his deficit behind Schumacher from 54 to 47 points with a 3.783-second pass at 311.27 mph.

“I’m obviously happy to be on the pole here,” said Dixon, who earned seven qualifying bonus points to just three for Schumacher. “You need to be low of those sessions to get those extra bonus points because that adds up. We made up almost a round last week (in Memphis). We didn’t do it this week, but we still gained ground on Tony (Schumacher). If you can do that at the next couple of races, including this one, you could make up a round of racing. From where I’m at, a round of racing would be real nice right now.”

Dixon will get a bye and Schumacher, who qualified fourth in his U.S. Army dragster, will be paired with Terry Haddock in the first round of Sunday’s eliminations.

Funny Car:

Beckman, 73 points behind Ashley Force Hood in fourth place, earned the pole with a 4.044 at 305.22 on his fourth and final qualifying attempt in the Valvoline/Mail Terminal Services Dodge Charger R/T.

“Am I surprised it held up? That’s a tough question because there were some quality cars behind us, but that was a stout number,” Beckman said. “I knew we didn’t leave a whole lot on the table that run, so they were going to have to be darn-near perfect for them to get around us.”

Beckman will meet John Smith in R1 Sunday and Force Hood, who set the track record for speed in her Castrol GTX Ford Mustang when she clicked the radar at 311.27 mph, will be matched up against Memphis winner Jeff Arend and the DHL team. Hight (-7) has teammate and team owner John Force in R1 and Tony Pedregon (-35) meets Mike Neff.

Pro Stock:

Edwards, the Pro Stock points leader, improved on his 6.606 from Friday with a 6.531 (at 211.26) on Saturday that was the second quickest pass in NHRA Pro Stock history. He also set the track records for speed and e.t. in his A.R.T./Young Life Pontiac en route to his NHRA-best 14th No. 1 qualifier of the season.

“What a scary qualifying session for Pro Stock,” said Edwards, who will be paired with V Gaines in R1. “When you pull up there and guys are making their career best runs and it’s the last session, it gets a little nerve-wracking. We were low with a .58 last session and I bet that’s not even in the top half now. Hats off to my guys. We made another really fantastic run and I’m just so proud of them and everything that they’ve done.”

Greg Anderson (-88) will meet Dave Northrop, Jason Line (-91) has Ryan Ondrejko, and defending NHRA Full Throttle Series champion Jeg Coughlin (-132) faces Greg Stanfield.

Final eliminations will begin at 11 a.m. ET today and be shown on ESPN2HD beginning at 7 p.m. ET.

Biffle Says It’s Time To Tend To The Roots

| Senior Writer, RacinToday.com Saturday, February 27 2010

Las Vegas, Nev. – Sprint Cup driver Greg Biffle is doing his part to breathe life back into racing at the grass roots level.

The driver of Roush Fenway Racing’s No. 16 Ford announced Friday morning that he has acquired partial ownership of Sunset Speedway, a 1/3-mile clay oval just outside of Portland.

He’ll also play a key role in a new 22-race Late Model circuit that will compete at tracks throughout Oregon and Washington. It will be known as the DAA Spec Motor Series presented by Sherwin-Williams.

Biffle joins the ranks of Dave Blaney, Ken Schrader, Tony Stewart and Kenny Wallace as Cup drivers who have made an investment in racing at the local level.

“I really felt I wanted to get involved in grass roots racing,” said Biffle, a native of Vancouver, Wash. “It’s important because that’s where all of our feeder guys come from, the mechanics and drivers for the Camping World Truck, Nationwide and Cup Series.

“It’s important to me to kind of get back to where I grew up and support this series. It’s going to be great.”

Clint Bowyer cut his teeth on dirt tracks throughout the Midwest. The Emporia, Kan. native continues to be a fixture at dirt facilities throughout the nation as his NASCAR schedule permits.

Bowyer has first-hand experience when it comes to recognizing the value of, in baseball terms, the Class A level of racing.

“I’m just a huge fan of short track racing and your local grass roots level racing,” Bowyer said. “I think it’s very important to this sport even today.

“Most of our core fans enjoy weekly racing throughout the country, and I’m not an exception. I love going to any short track, asphalt or dirt or whatever.

“I just like the level of competition and seeing the Saturday night specials show up and put on a good show. I still think it’s some of the best racing we have.”

Biffle admitted that seeing the demise of tracks where he learned his trade in the 1990s contributed to his decision to become an owner. And he wasn’t shy when it came to seeking advice from his peers.

“I talked to Tony (Stewart).  I talked to Kenny Schrader and Kenny Wallace a little bit about it, and got some ideas from those guys,” Biffle said.

“I’ve been looking at this for a few years now about becoming a partner. It’s more about bringing some recognition to these race tracks and kind of giving back to that series and providing a good platform for guys to come out and race on Friday and Saturday night.

“Both of the race tracks I won championships at are gone now. Portland Speedway and Tri Cities Raceway are both extinct.  A lot of race tracks are doing that.”

As the economy continues to struggle and make it difficult for participants in all forms of racing to acquire sponsorship, Jeff Burton applauded Biffle’s decision to support racing at the grassroots level.

“These are guys that we define as real racers that race at the local level,” Burton said. “They race their whole lives at that race track and they’re not doing it for the money. They’re not doing it to get on television. They’re not doing it to buy a big house.

“They’re doing it because they love to race. That’s a real special thing.”

Welcome to Ragazzi's Pizza & Restaurant

Formerly Alfonso’s Pizza & More, Ragazzi’s is located at 3201 Edgewater Drive, Orlando, FL 32804. We're across the street from Edgewater High School, South of Walgreens. Our phone number is 407-999-9973

We’re a family restaurant -- your family and ours. We’re two brothers and we are the Pizza Guys who own Ragazzi’s. We’re known for our pizzas, but we are also quite proud of the other items on our menu, and we take special pride in the many things we prepare from scratch here on the premises, including our breads, soups and desserts. We learned about using fresh, local and seasonal ingredients long before they became restaurant buzzwords. For our grandmother, who lived in a small village in the old country, that was the only way to cook. So that’s why we try to source as much of our produce as possible from local growers. And when we buy other ingredients, we buy the best we can find, such as Grande brand mozzarella, ricotta and fresh mozzarella -- that name may not mean much to you, but we assure you it means a lot to professional pizza makers!

There has been a restaurant and pizzeria in this spot for more than 40 years. You may have known it by another name, and you may have known it with different owners. We bought it, seven years ago when it was named Alfonso's. The Old Alfonso's tradition continues with Ragazzi's. We hope you’ll come to know us as your neighborhood pizza place, a restaurant for the whole family, and a place that would make our grandmother proud.

Aleks and Genti,
Ragazzi’s -- the Pizza Guys

"At Ragazzi’s the crust was just about perfect. It was not the least bit doughy, the thickness was exact to within millimeters of what a pizza crust should be, and it had just the right balance between crispness and elasticity that allowed a slice to be folded for mouthal insertion.."
-Scott Joseph, Orlando Restaurant Guide

White Collar – On the Fence

by Alan Rapp on August 4, 2011

in Television Reviews

  • Title: White Collar – On the Fence
  • tv.com: link

Rumors of the Nazi submarine have brought Neal’s old friend Keller (Ross McCall) back to New York. At the same time Neal (Matt Bomer) and Peter (Tim DeKay) try to recover an Egyptian artifact that’s worked its way into Manhattan and into the hands of a respected Egyptologist and world class fence (Eliza Dushku). When the two cases cross paths everything goes straight to Hell.

Seeking a quick influx of cash, looking for revenge for a murdered friend, and in need of help solving the Keller situation, Mozzie (Willie Garson) sells off one of the Nazi treasures to pay for a professional hit. Unfortunately he doesn’t realize his actions will lead to Keller escaping FBI custody and draw attention back to him as the painting is one of the items on the partial manifest in the FBI’s possession.

Although I was a little troubled with the ease with which Keller plays both Sara (Hilarie Burton) and Neal separately in attempting to work his way to the treasure the episode works quite well. We also see a hard streak in Mozzie that we hadn’t seen before as he coolly pays for the assassination of another human being. Who knew the little guy had it in him?

I liked Dushku in yet another attractive woman with questionable morals who tickles Neal’s fancy. Their final scene hints at a possible return which I’d be totally on board for. As to the fallout of Neal keeping the manifest from Mozzie and the painting hitting the market, we’ll just have to wait and see. We’ve got one more episode before the mid-season break and if history teaches us anything it’s that White Collar will find a way to end things with yet another cliffhanger.

Orange DSMX/DSM2 JR compatible TX module in a Taranis

Orange DSMX/DSM2 JR compatible TX module in a Taranis

Postby Iwade » Fri Jan 15, 2016 12:00 am

I have owned and enjoyed ( apart from programming the swine! ) my Taranis for about 2 years now.
For Christmas my son bought me an E-flight BNF UMX Radian with the AS3X technology. I purchased from HobbyKing an Orange DSMX/DSM2 module to covert the Taranis to the Spectrum system.
Following a cross section of youtube vids ( of course there was no manual supplied with it ) on how to bind this module to a Spectrum BNF model I successfully managed to bind the module to the Radian's Rx. All that is except for the ESC - there is no throttle control. This seems to be a common problem on several other forums.
In the model set up menu in Taranis I have switched to the external modem in PPM mode with a frame rate of 22.5ms and 300u with a negative polarity. ( I have tried changing this to + but makes no difference ).
The Orange module I am referring to is listed on Hobbyking as id 9171000302-0 . The Turnigy/ JR compatible one without the dip switches.
If anyone has had similar problems and has a fix I would love to hear about it.
Sorry to ramble on but old men are allowed to do this!

Hot dam: Should it stay or should it go?

Picture a lazy summer day, floating on an inner tube in the mill pond on the Rivanna. Life doesn't get much better than that– unless you're Sally Shad trying to get up the river to spawn before your whole species is extinct, and a dam is in the way.

Okay, make that a lazy summer day, and you're canoeing down the Rivanna. Life doesn't get much betteruntil you come to the Woolen Mills dam. Finding there's no easy portage, you curse as you struggle to get your canoe around the dam and continue your journey downstream. Then, like Sally Shad, you may start to wonder, why is that dam still there?

Certainly it's not to generate power. Current environmental wisdom even dictates that dams are bad for the health of rivers and the fish that spawn in them. But what happens when the dam in question is an integral part of the history and fabric of a neighborhood?

Such is the dilemma facing the Woolen Mills neighborhood. The crumbling community landmark still provides an idyllic Rivanna River setting that hasn't changed much since the early 19th century and that many are loathe to lose no matter how many American shad must be sacrificed to maintain the status quo.

On the other side of the dam, so to speak, is the Rivanna Conservation Society, which is investigating the feasibility of getting rid of the dam in part or in whole, and gathering heavy-duty environmental support to do so.

The person who ultimately will make the decision is owner Presley Thach, whose father bought Woolen Mills in 1964 and who has steadfastly professed to be neither for nor against the idea of breaching the dam since it was first broached with him.

Jason Halbert of the Rivanna Conservation Society is spearheading the effort to dismantle the dam. Halbert's impeccable environmental credentials include employment with the now-defunct green-leaning W. Alton Jones Foundation and now its offspring, the Oak Hill Fund. Even among greens, says a former coworker, Halbert is known for his ecological devotion: He's the kind of guy who stops on a stroll around the dam to pick up a discarded plastic milk jug.

And he's rounded up some impressive supporters: The Chesapeake Bay Foundation, the local League of Women Voters, the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries, the Nature Conservancy, and the Thomas Jefferson Chapter of Trout Unlimited all favor a study on breaching the dam.

What prompted him to take on the Woolen Mills' sacred cow? Halbert lists a number of motives: improving the health of the river, recreational opportunities, and the community's connection with the Rivanna.

Perhaps most importantly, it's the American shad that drives Halbert. "They are a fascinating fish, and I admit I'm consumed by a certain mysteriousness that surrounds the fish, partly because they were an integral part of human and animal life here for millennia, and most people have never even eaten or seen one," he says.

Halbert compares the American shad (Latin name: Alosa sapidissima, which means "most delicious" or "most tasty") to the American chestnut. "They're both Appalachian icons, if you ask me, and they're largely extirpated from their original range completely due to human interference."

Like salmon, their better-known Pacific brethren, Virginia's native fish live out their days in the ocean, and then are compelled by their genes to make what's often a last, dying trek back upstream to spawn.

In 1999, the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries released more than a million of the endangered shad into the Rivanna River at Crofton Landing, about 10 miles below the dam. Between 2004 and 2007, they're scheduled to return from the Atlantic to make their journey up the James and then the Rivanna. Some of the survivors from that long haul will run smack into the Woolen Mills dam.

 To breach, or not to breach...

Last spring, Halbert's vision for a dam-free river was granted an audience with the Woolen Mills Neighborhood Association. However, at the meeting, held in the old Woolen Mills Chapel, Halbert was placed last on the agenda, and he was introduced as a Belmont resident– signs that could signal that his project will face an upstream swim, or worse: that he's "not from around here."

Halbert likes to quote former Secretary of the Interior Bruce Babbitt about this country's 75,000 dams: Since the signing of the Declaration of Independence, America has, on average, constructed a dam a day.

But now that trend has turned. In November, Portland General Electric announced it was dismantling two dams in Oregon. While the two dams produce 10 megawatts, a drop in the 2,000-megawatt bucket of electricity PGE generates, they're both fully functioning hydroelectric dams.

Other dam-keepers are looking at less destructive although arguably less effectivemeasures, such as fish ladders. In 1999, the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries opened a $1.5 million fish ladder at Bosher's Dam on the James River above Richmond, the first time spawning fish were able to swim past the dam since 1823, according to the department.

Halbert says the idea of dam breaching is nothing new. In 1987, Virginia signed on to the Chesapeake Bay Agreement with the goal of opening the state's 415 miles of spawning habitats to migratory fish.

The Bosher's Dam Fishway opened 138 miles of that goal. And the breaching of Woolen Mills dam would open up not only the 3.4 miles to the South Fork Dam, but also the 13 miles of the North Fork Rivanna to total another 22 miles for the American shad, which once ruled Virginia's rivers.

Why is the shad important other than as the draw for politicos at the annual Shad Planking?

"Shad are our salmon," says Halbert. "We've been preventing them from doing their thing for almost 200 years."

For settlers to Virginia, shad was the other white meat. Shad once "amounted to half a hog crop for the entire population of the basin of the James," claims a Virginia Commission of Fisheries 1875 annual report.

The James teemed with shad, as well as with stripers, herring, sturgeon, and eel. "In the spring of the year, herrings come up in such abundance... to spawn, that it is almost impossible to ride through without treading on them," wrote Robert Beverley in 1705.

During the 1700s, as fish populations dwindled, colonists passed laws requiring the removal of obstructions or construction of fish passages, according to Virginia Wildlife magazine, which comments, "Surely a society that can send men to the moon and bring them back, can send fish up a river."

 Halbert cites economic reasons for tearing down the dam. In July of this year, legislation went into effect in Virginia that requires annual inspections of dams, after which they must be repaired or face fines.

"It costs far less to remove the dam once than repair it," he says. The dam, built in 1830, is eroding and losing stone blocks.

Halbert points to the top blocks on the dam. "Notice that they're dry, and the stones underneath are wet," he instructs. "That mean it's leaking, and that loosens the stones underneath." He predicts the dam eventually will collapse.

And then there are the safety concerns. The dramatic beauty of the dam cannot help but attract people, and periodically someone is injured on it. In August 2001, a woman fell off and broke her ankle. Unsurprisingly, alcohol is often involved.

Pat Punch has another reason for wanting to see the dam down: "I'd like to canoe down the river, and right now, it's a real pain to portage around." He says Albemarle County is working on a new landing at Pen Park. "With the dam out, it would be a heck of a lot more fun to go to Milton," without having to stop at the dam and carry a boat around it.

And Punch, who's also a member of the Rivanna Conservation Society, thinks portage at the dam is hazardous. Besides having to climb over rocks and through poison ivy carrying a heavy canoe loaded with gear up a steep embankment and then down again, "There's always the possibility of snags or tripping."

What about the dam's historic significance? "The purpose was to provide power to Woolen Mills," says Punch. "It's outlived that. Just because it's old doesn't mean it should stay there."

Punch is sympathetic to "those poor fish," too.

"The shad really want to go upstream," he says. "Canoeists really want to go downstream. The dam is in the middle blocking the river for both groups."

Not in my backyard

Three historic brick duplexes line the end of East Market Street. Since 1982, realtor Roger Voisinet has lived in one of them. He says it was built in the 1830s and used to house the manager of the Woolen Mills.

For Voisinet, the loss of the dam, which makes the Rivanna River lake-like at his back yard, would be a "catastrophe."

Vosinet attended the neighborhood meeting where "some guy who seems to think it's his business gave a talk," he says. Voisinet calls Halbert's slide show "disingenuous," and adds, "I was too mad to say anything at the meeting."

If the dam is torn down, he foresees his backyard as a large, wide stretch of mud where nothing will grow.

Halbert says that would be only temporary. Landscaping would be included in any cost projections for breaching or partially breaching the dam, and with active plantings in the rich bottomland soil, it'd be green in a year, Halbert predicts.

 With the river no longer a barrier, Voisinet also fears a loss of privacy and security from people walking through his yard.

"My house has taken the brunt of the public's desire to park trailers" and use the river for boating, he says. "Everyone acts like fishermen and canoeists are so great," but to Voisinet, they're "pretty bad neighbors."

"I've been picking up litter for 20 years," he says, and in the 1980s, vandalism was a problem.

Voisinet points out historic aspects of the dam, which was built in 1830 to power what would become Charlottesville's first major industry.

"This whole neighborhood owes its existence to the Woolen Mills dam," says Voisinet. He wonders what's next– tearing down the Woolen Mills Chapel to put in low-income housing?

Ed Lay, UVA professor of architecture and author of The Architecture of Jefferson Country, agrees with Voisinet.

"There's a visual environment these environmentalists need to think about."

Neither the dam nor the mill is a registered Virginia historic landmark, although an archivist at the Virginia Department of Historic Resources says they should be. Woolen Mills was proposed as a historic district in 1983, but nothing happened with that. And the city has protected four buildings in Woolen Mills, including the chapel, with a historic designation.

Lay notes that notes that the dam is the last remnant of the original mill and that aesthetic considerations have merit. "Historically, it's always easier to tear down something than fix it," he says. "Once it's gone, it's gone. That's sad."

Lay asks about a fish ladder, and in fact, there is one across the river on the side owned by State Farm Insurance. The only problem, according to Halbert, is that it doesn't work. "Shad can't jump," he explains.

Another in the dam preservation camp is Pete Runge, an amateur historian with the Virginia Canals and Navigation Society. He opposes the dam being breached. But if it's done, "It needs to be done properly," says Runge, with an archaeologist present. He's certain all sorts of artifacts lie at the base of the 170-year-old dam, perhaps even the foundation of an earlier dam.

"I'd be astounded if there weren't sunken boats" at the dam's foundation, he predicts.

Even though he's a kayaker, Runge thinks portaging around the dam is easy, and he'd prefer to see the dam left, or better yet, fixed up. "For the cost both monetary and cultural, breaching it seems a bit much."

How have other Woolen Mills residents responded to the idea of breaching the dam? "It's not really any of their business," Voisinet says, but "one person snidely told me I'd have to find another place to go swimming."

One resident who favors a dam-less neighborhood and who requests his name not be used, describes Woolen Mills as a hotbed of Democrats, known for their environmental tendencies. "But Democrats feel differently about environmental issues when they lose their own personal paddling pond," he chortles.

However, Halbert doesn't think it's that easy. "I don't assume anybody is going to jump on board because they're an environmentalist."

Like Halbert, Kay Slaughter also sports impeccable environmental credentials. A former (Democratic) Charlottesville mayor who works at the Southern Environmental Law Center, the Woolen Mills resident is well aware that there's a national trend to remove dams. But the idea of breaching the Woolen Mills dam is one "I haven't jumped up to embrace," she says.

"In fact, you've got another dam upstream at the Rivanna Reservoir," she notes. "It's not like you're returning the river to its natural environment."

She acknowledges some sympathy to the idea of dam breaching, but she also has sympathy for the several landowners whose property will be affected. "It hasn't been shown why it should be done," she says.

Mixed reviews

UVA student (and occasional Hook contributor) Wesley Hottot has shot two films featuring the Woolen Mills dam. "From a filmic perspective," he says, the idea of dismantling the dam is "tragic."

He says the water on the lower side of the dam is like a creek, and calls the stagnant, green water above the dam "primordial" in its beauty when the light hits the algae.

"It's a really nice, naturally decrepit area," he says. "Even if you're not photographing it, it's a nice place to find solace."

Hottot wouldn't go so far as to swim in the waters around the dam. "It's gross," he says. When he once fell into the river, his skin was "slimy" when he got out.

And while fully admitting he knows nothing about the environmental issues, it seems to Hottot that the river needs to be moving. "If they need to take apart the dam to make the river more viable, I'm for it."

"It's imaginable the benefits would outweigh three people having their own swimming hole," says another Woolen Mills resident, who does not want his name used. This homeowner says the clouds of mosquitoes in the 'hood are "like a tundra," and thinks a downed dam would help that.

Democratic City Council candidate Alexandria Searls also lives in Woolen Mills. She calls the dam "photographically popular." As for breaching it, she needs to know more. Is the dam safe? How much land and privacy would property owners like Voisinet lose? What would it do for the river?

"I would support a study," she says.

Actually, that's what Halbert is working toward. In July, he was awarded a $15,000 grant from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in partnership with the American Rivers organization.

Early in December, he'll get word on a couple of other grant applications that would provide the $25,000 to $30,000 needed to hire an engineering and design firm to do a study to see if a partial breach of the dam is feasible. "Without the money in place, it's premature" to go beyond that, and unless he gets the additional grants, the first $15,000 must be returned, he says.

Down at the end of Market Street at the old Woolen Mills building that now houses his moving and storage company, Presley Thach, who owns the dam and who will decide its fate, is keeping his cards close to his vest. "I'm very open minded," he says.

Even before Halbert talked to the neighborhood association, Thach predicted the opposition of neighbors, particularly those whose property is adjacent to the river.

"We've given permission to perform the study," he says but not for the demolition.

Halbert is almost two years into lobbying for breaching the dam, and it could be another year until it's time for Thach to make a decision. Meanwhile, Halbert keeps Thach posted on the progress.

One question Thach can't answer is who would pay for the demolition.

"I don't intend to pay for it," Thach says. That would leave Halbert to scrounge up more funding if Thach consents.

Does Halbert think neighborhood opposition will influence Thach? "Sure, if tons of people are against it," he answers. However, he's confident the arguments to do it are strong.

"It fits in with the state's plans for the health of rivers and fisheries," he explains. "It just makes sense."

And while some Woolen Mills residents may not agree, "This isn't some crusade," says Halbert. "Really, what we've done is raise a lot of questions. Now we need to answer them and address concerns."

Presley Thach has a question. "Have you looked at the dam recently?" he asks. "It's in disrepair and falling apart." And whatever decision he makes, that's a fact of life that's not likely to change for this ancient structure.

Greymoore - Session 8

Sorry this is late, had a full day and ended up seeing Kick-Ass at 10 (very enjoyable flick). Anyhow, here is what happened in Session 8 of the Greymoore game.

Liam Callahan - a 17 year old human farm boy who constantly has his head in the clouds (you guessed it. The Hero!). Liam hails from the "Road's End Villages" the far North Western section of the Kingdom of Cerimea, not that anyone particularly remembers that.

Ilian Holhan - A 19 year old apprentice mage Seraphim who has come down to the surface (accompanied by his mentor and master) to further his studies on the weather as well as several other studies for his magical pursuits.. The Seraphim are a race of winged scholars and magi who live high above the clouds.

Abar Dan Rab Beynonn - A 19 year old Azrian Sword Dancer. The Azrian are a tribe of humans that live in cities in the forests (think Sherwood from Robin Hood Prince of Thieves), they are some of the premiere sword fighters in the land, using a style that emphasizes grace and finesse over power.

Darcy Stanton - A Half-Elf Rogue who has been staying with Rab (Abar) among the Azrian for the last few years. She is as close as a sister to Rab, and helps him on the various jobs he undertakes for the Azrian. Despite her time with the Azrian though, Darcy prefers to fight with her knives rather than use a sword.

Genru Crabshall - A Dwarven caravan guard from the Dwarf's War Caste. Genru hails from the famed floating cities of the Dwarves, though it has been years since he has seen home. Assigned to a guard a caravan heading to the northern provinces of Cerimea.

Ornu Tana Dar - An experienced Elven Woodsman, Ornu is specifically trained to be able to counter rogues, spies, and assassins, and also in taking out larger groups of opponents as quickly and efficiently possible. One year ago (beginning of the game) he was sent to retrieve Darcy back to the Kingdom so that officials could speak to her on matters of some importance to the Elven kingdom.

The Session
The session began with the group leaving the Azrian village to head to Bastion. There was some question as to why they were heading to Bastion, it had nothing to do with their quest at this time, and they were likely only going to bring ruin and misfortune down upon the people in the city with the trouble that was following them, but it had ended up on their travel agenda. After a bit of discussion, it was revealed that Rab wanted to check in on the survivors from Asgoth, particularly Jasa and Elise, or was that the other way around? The party was curious and intrigued enough, after all Rab never seemed to want to meet anyone, not that he didn't want to just desire for things seemed foreign to him, and so they all agreed to go to Bastion. Rab and Ornu planned the route, and off they went.

Along the journey Ilian took to the skies regularly, and read the weather to see how things were going to go. Which made it curious when one day they noticed a storm cloud in an otherwise clear sky, even more so when it was noticed that this cloud was travelling against the wind. Heading up to investigate, Ilian commanded the wind to blow to the side and dissipate the cloud, an action which revealed the six winged lizard-men that had been hiding within. Sensing an incoming attack, Ilian turned to return to the party managing to get grazed by a cross bow quarrel as he did so. The lizard-men landed before the group, pointed to them and demanded the boy be given to them. The party refused, and with Rab's charging into combat the fight began.

The creatures were strong, fighting unarmed and using the claws on the end of their fingers. Their thick skin and muscled bodies providing significant protection against the weapons of the PCs as the fight continued. Things took a turn for the worse when Rab killed the leader of the Lizard Men only to have his body explode and magical metallic coils wrap him up like a christmas present, effectively taking him out of the fight. Grenru killed another with his axe, this one simply exploding and damaging the dwarf in return for the death blow being dealt.

One of the creatures grabbed Rab's bound body from the ground, trying to flee with the captured Azrian in tow. Darcy, being close by, managed to injure the wing to slow the escape, and a lucky shot by Ornu managed to free one of Rab's arms enough. Rab, the reckless daredevil that he is, promptly grabbed the Lizard man's head and brought the short flight to a literal crashing end back into the ground. The rest of the fight was fairly straight forward, though thanks to the explosions and magical binding coils, by the end of the fight both Grenru and Rab were tied up, and everyone save Ilian and Grenru were severely injured. The group took the rest of the evening to patch them selves up, and between Ilian and Ornu's medical training as well as a touch of magic they were right as rain when the sun rose the next day.

Continuing on towards Bastion, the PCs ran into a couple of Free Knights, an order of Knights affiliated with the Free City, and allowed to wander in the human kingdoms, exchanging information as to the road and the weather conditions before going their separate ways. A couple of days later and the Free City itself came into sight. Sprawled across the plains with a spire like shape as those in the inner, and richest, areas of the city built up, unable to build out thanks to the press of other buildings. Despite that though, the city gave off an appearance of having been designed by a single hand. Not a mish-mash or hodge podge of various people's desires and wants over a couple hundred years, effort was put into maintaining a level of ascetic appeal and the impression the city gave from a distance benefited from this.

Through the gates, the city's primary purpose of a trade city is easy to see. Roads are set up for ease of travel, being straight and wide to accommodate carts and wagons. A nightmare to defend, but perfect for the kind of massive trade the city encouraged to happen within its walls. Asking a few questions, the PCs found their way to the Tameran Embassy, being allowed in by the Cimerean Princess Jasa who was staying in the care of the Tameran Princess Elise ila Tamera. Being welcomed and told to make themselves at home, the PCs take advantage of baths and the ability to get their clothes cleaned.

Rab is 'abducted' by the Princess Jasa, going off with her to see how she has progressed with the brief dancing lessons he gave her a half year ago in Asgoth. Ilian and Liam find their way to the Study/Library, Ilian reading up on the histories of the human kingdoms and finding it strange that there are only broken records for any of the kingdoms more than 900 years ago, and no record of the founding of any of the three human kingdoms. Liam for his part is quickly distracted from his quest for actual knowledge by a large tome of the Legends of Deregar, the elven hero and last Dragon Knight. Grenru and Ornu end up going off to find a bar and manage to drink themselves stupid. Darcy, for her part, pretties herself up before finding a musician in the Embassy who is willing to work with her as she practices her own performancing on her own.

The return of Elise to the Embassy brings about smiles from seeing an old friend. A brief conversation between Elise and Darcy brings the princess up to speed on the group's situation. The group (minus Ornu and Grenru) discuss a bit on how long to stay in the city before once again going off on their own. Ilian back to his books, Liam and Darcy to their respective beds, and Rab to find Elise and ask for a spar. Some subdued flirting and sparring later, Rab is exhausted and collapses into unconsciousness.

The Elf and Dwarf decide to come back to the Embassy at some ridiculously late time, only to find the guard unwilling to let them in. The reason being a request from Darcy considering the presumed drunken state both will be in. Being refuted by the guard, Grenru realizes they're being followed and drags the elf with him on a chase through the alleyways. The chase bears no fruit, though that doesn't stop the Dwarf from dragging the Elf with him all through the night to try and find the person.

The next morning finds Grenru and Ornu waking up, surprisingly close to the embassy all things considered, and Liam heading out to see the city on his own. Liam's venturing brings about a strange turn as he runs into his father. His father has been following stories of him and his group of companions, looking for answers as to why his son and wife disappeared over a year ago. The two talk, Liam's father commenting that Liam is being followed and pulling his son down different streets seemingly at random. It takes Liam a while to realize that by 'being followed' his dad means right now and to start looking around. When he does, he spots Shashin, the grey skinned warrior from the Azrian village. He gets the sense that they're being herded, but continues to follow along his dad's lead. Turning a corner, Liam spots a bow being aimed at them, getting his shield off his back he manages to block the arrow. The pursuers have apparently decided the time for action is now.

Moving quicker through the streets Liam's dad sees an opening and goes for it. Liam running as fast as he can after his father. They come near an intersection with another street, and Liam's father turns, shoving his son out of the way as Shashin appears seemingly out of nowhere, lunging with a sword in hand. Liam falls to the side safely, the blade neatly piercing between his father's ribs. The session ends there.

I was unsure as to the ending of the session, on the one hand I am not a huge fan of cliff-hanging in the middle of an intense situation, as while it can make for return visits in tv-shows and movies, it is really hard in RPGs to recapture the exact emotional spectrum that is going on. Players have a week or more to sit down and analyze what is happening, they calm down and scheme, come up with plans. When the event picks back up, it plays out differently than it would have normally because the element of being caught up in the moment is lost. That being said, due to time constraints and wanting to give LIam's player some time to think I did it. The player also seems happy with the emotionality of the scene there, so huzzah for that.

Aside from that, not much happened plot wise in the session. The fight with the lizard men went longer than I expected. I think I made them a bit too strong for what I intended them to be there, but they were also a last minute substitution from a different encounter I had planned due to a comment/dare from a player done in jest. I think, even with that, the fight turned out a lot more interesting than it would have been. Though I have promised that the next group of enemies the PCs fight (PCs, plural, not PC) will not explode or do anything weird upon death, or they'll all get 15 XP.

Other than that, I got nothing. So have fun, and Happy Gaming.

Visiting Picnic Point

This evening JJ and I biked to Picnic Point -- well, as close as you can get before the walking-only path begins.  I've somehow never been to Picnic Point, even though I did my undergrad in Madison, so it made a good biking destination.

Picnic Point is a peninsula along Lake Mendota's southern shore.  Here's an aerial view:
Picnic Point

Many people go to Picnic Point for campfires or picnics, but we just walked out to the tip and back to appreciate the scenery.

Espresso Macadamia Nut Cookies

Total Time: 1 hrs.
Baking Time: 10 min.
Preparation Time: 20 min.
Refrigeration Time: 30 min.

For any serious choco-holic, these cookies are the ultimate drug to feed their addiction. Their consistency borders on that of a brownie. They are very dense and filled with patches of pure chocolate. I like them best when they are slightly chilled, but when they are fresh out the oven, they are not bad either.

4 ounces unsweetened baking chocolate - coarsely chopped
3 cups semisweet chocolate chips - divided
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 large eggs
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons instant coffee powder
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
50 macadamia nuts

In the top of a double broiler over gently simmering water, melt the unsweetened chocolate, 1 1/2 cups of the chocolate chips, and the butter, stirring occasionally until the mixture is smooth and completely blended. Set aside to cool to room temperature.

In a medium mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside. In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, sugar, espresso powder, and vanilla and beat together until the mixture holds a ribbon when the beater is lifted away. Fold in the cooled chocolate mixture. Fold in the remaining chocolate chips and the macadamia nuts. Let the batter rest for 30 minutes, covered in the refrigerator.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Butter and flour 2 large baking sheets. Spoon about 2 tablespoons cookie batter at a time onto the prepared baking sheet. Place cookies at least 1 inch apart. Bake for 7 to 10 minutes, or until puffy and shiny. Cool on a rack.

F1 2016 has run down the curtain

Right, so that's it. F1 2016 has run down the curtain and joined the choir invisible. It. Is. Dead.

The team is looking forward to having 14 weeks rest at home with nothing to do. Except this week's tyre test. Ooh, and strip the cars when they get back to base; and test and rebuild them; and unpack the sea-freight from Austin, Mexico, Brazil, Abu Dhabi; and test, inspect and generally rebuild and/or redesign the garage equipment; and pack and despatch freight containers to Australia, China and Bahrain; and strip and rebuild the transporters for the European races; then get a new, shiny RB13; and learn how to build the new, shiny RB13; and have lively discussions with designers until they modify the bits that stop you building the new, shiny, RB13; and relearn how to build the new, shiny RB13 with modified components that can be fitted by grown men rather than Victorian street urchins with tiny hands; and restructure pitstop procedures for the wider car and big fat tyres; and practice pitstop procedures until people stop getting hit in the face by tyres; and go testing in Spain.

Or, in other words, it's day one of the winter schedule, the clock is ticking we're behind already and will be playing catch-up all the way until the cars are loaded onto the plane and shipped out to Melbourne. The upside is that you get to do this while sleeping in your own bed. The downside is that you generally have to make your own bed and room service tends to get a bit shirty if you get home at midnight and ask for a cheeseburger and fries.

At least we're a big team. The lads down the other end of the pitlane probably have to paint their factory too.

Abu Dhabi was a good race to end the year. It's disappointing to come away without a trophy for the first time since Monza but we didn't know that was going to be the case until the very last corner, and in terms of drama, you can't get much better than that. Congratulations to Nico Rosberg, a very worthy World Champion. Spy's aware that the chattering classes are questioning this, but over a nine-month, 21-race season if you come out on top it's because you earned it, however many hints your team-mate may drop to the contrary. Granted, Nico had a bit of luck along the way – but show me a world champion that hasn't.

Best of all, Nico didn't cry on the podium, thus upholding the Rosberg family image as hard men of motorsport. Keke says he stayed away until after the race because he didn't want to be a distraction: Spy reckons he stayed away because he was worried there might be tears and snot, and if you have a long-cultivated image as a stone-cold hero of F1, you don't want to have to deal with that.

Spare a thought for Lewis though. He seems to be in a spot of bother for declining what, in Spy's humble opinion, appears to be a request that he cease trying to win the title. There are drivers out there who would have obeyed – but none of them are World Champions.

Of course, Spy's just jealous: getting all shouty with your drivers because they're not winning by a big enough margin is a nice problem to have. Hopefully we'll be able to do it next year – though if Max and Dan are going head-to-head for a title we're going to need a concrete bunker on the pit wall, neither of them is a particularly compromising character.

Now there's a happy thought to go into the winter with.

Onwards to Oz!

Features On Mercury Receive New Names

The International Astronomical Union (IAU) has approved new names for features on Mercury and agreed on a new theme for fossae on the planet. These newly christened features were discovered from images taken by the MESSENGER spacecraft during its first flyby of Mercury in January.

The IAU is the internationally recognized authority for assigning designations to surface features on celestial bodies. "We are very pleased with how quickly the IAU has responded to the need to name many of the prominent landforms on Mercury first seen in MESSENGER images," says MESSENGER Principal Investigator Sean Solomon of the Carnegie Institution of Washington. "The Science Team has just submitted our first scientific papers on the flyby observations, and this prompt action by the IAU has meant that we are able to refer to these features by their formal names."

Naming rules exist for most features on planets, moons, and asteroids. Mercury's cliffs are named after the ships of famous explorers. One set of cliffs discovered by MESSENGER (called by the Latin name for cliffs, rupes) is named Beagle Rupes, after the ship on which naturalist Charles Darwin sailed around the world.

Craters on Mercury are named after famous deceased artists, musicians, or authors. The approved crater names are:

  • Apollodorus, after Apollodorus of Damascus, a second-century Greek architect credited by many with designing the Pantheon temple in Rome .
  • Atget, after Eugne Atget, a French photographer noted for his photographs documenting the architecture and street scenes of Paris .
  • Cunningham, after Imogen Cunningham, an American photographer known for her portraits, still lifes, and figure studies.
  • Eminescu, after Romanian poet Mihail Eminescu, considered to be the "godfather" of the modern Romanian language.
  • Kert©sz, after Andr© Kert©sz, a Hungarian-born American photographer famous for developing the photo essay.
  • Neruda, after Chilean poet, Nobel laureate, and politician Pablo Neruda, most famous for his love poems.
  • Raditladi, after Leetile Disang Raditladi, a Botswanan poet and playwright who founded the first political party in Botswana , the Federal Party.
  • Sander, after German photographer August Sander best known for his portrait series.
  • Sveinsd³ttir, after JÃƒºlÃƒana Sveinsd³ttir, one of Iceland's first woman painters and textile artists and a significant innovator from the 1930s to the 1950s through her approach to the landscape subject and color palette.
  • Xiao Zhao, after Xiao Zhao, a Chinese artist from the Southern Song Dynasty (1127-1279) who once served as Emperor Gao Zong's dai zhao (painter-in-attendance) with the honorary title di gong lang (gentleman for meritorious achievement).

MESSENGER discovered a striking set of graben (or fault-bounded troughs) that radiate out from a small area near the center of the Caloris basin. An individual graben is termed a fossa (plural is fossae) by the IAU. No previous fossae had been discovered on Mercury from the Mariner 10 images, so the IAU had to approve a new naming scheme"”"significant works of architecture." Pantheon Fossae were named after the Pantheon, a still-used second-century Roman temple and later church. The ancient building and the fossae both feature a central circular feature and radiating texture.

Arizona State University's Mark Robinson, who leads the development of global image products from MESSENGER, says he drew on a database maintained by the IAU, as well as requests from individuals, for nomenclature ideas.

"There's a certain romance to these names," says Robinson. "But more practically, naming these features facilitates communication among scientists studying the planet. It's very cumbersome to write a scientific paper and say, "Ëœthat big crater just east of that really huge crater near Mercury's North pole.' It's much easier to name the features."

During its first Mercury pass, MESSENGER's cameras imaged a large portion of Mercury's surface that had not been previously seen by spacecraft. (When Mariner 10, the only other space mission to visit Mercury, examined the surface 33 years ago, the Sun illuminated a different portion of the planet.) As the MESSENGER Science Team continues to study the images of Mercury, more features on Mercury will be named.

"The naming process is an ongoing effort because as we get more and more science out of the data we start finding more and more features," Robinson says.

MESSENGER will next fly past Mercury in October, viewing the opposite side of the planet. A third flyby is scheduled for September 2009, and the probe will settle into Mercury's orbit in March 2011.

There is a lush .63 acres to do some farming on. The climate and terrain allow for tropical fruit like oranges, lemons, limes, pineapples, cassava, bananas, among others to be cultivated.

The house has electricity and a septic tank.

How to Wire Remote Control Switch to Motor of Skylight Window?

Do you know how to wire a remote control switch to the motor of skylight window, so that the skylight window can be remotely controlled from anywhere within the reliable distance?

Let’s have a try.

Firstly, we need to prepare these things:

1 x 12V remote control switch for motor (transmitter & receiver)

2 x 12V linear actuator motors

1 x DC 12V power adapter

*Maximum current of the remote controller is up to 10amp which is enough for controlling two linear actuator motors.

Secondly, wire two motors to the receiver according to the wiring diagram.

Finally, control the linear actuator motor by the remote transmitter.

Press button ▲: motor rotates in forward direction, the skylight window is open.

Press button ▼: motor rotates in backward direction, the skylight window is closed.

Press button ■: rotation stops.
