Comments (41)Semper against a lawyer like yours I haven't got a chance :( "Only slightly off-topic" Brenda Sorry to take so long to answer your DH's question, I just got busy here for a couple days and haven't had time to look at the forum. The motor I was using in that CF was called a M100. My old link to the site where I got it appears to be dead, so likely they don't make it any more. It was a fairly cheap geared bushed motor and not really anything I would recommend anyway. And yes I always use Li-Po batteries now. When it comes to micro RC stuff where weight to power ratio is important they are the only way to go. I got into electric micros about 4 years ago and have had a blast with them. Because they are so small and quiet I no longer have to take my planes (or helicopter) anywhere to fly. I just fly in my yard or sometimes, in the case of my micro helicopter, in my living room. The new compact, high amp Li-Po battery technology in combination with the new super efficient powerful brush-less motors makes the field of micros RCs and park flyers pretty exciting right now. I really like the fact that the electric Micros are so quick and hassle free to fly. I can grab my micro helicopter walk out the door and have it in the air flying literally in less than a minute, fly it for 20 minutes on one charge of my Li-Po battery pack. After the flight I just throw that battery pack on the charger and grab another full battery pack and I'm ready to go for another 20 minutes. Usually after 40 minutes of flying I've got my fix of flying for the day and I haven't had to waste a lot of time driving anywhere or fiddling with nitro and fuel pumps. I wish all my hobbies were so satisfying and easy to accomplish. The other thing I like about the micro RC planes is their ruggedness. The little CF you saw in the video has taken a literal power dive from 25 feet in to a concrete wall and only required a little re-assembly to get it flying again in 5 minutes. I have seen grown men cry when they have destroyed their large scale planes on a bad landing. I respect the amount of skill and time that goes into building those beautiful scale ships, but I would have a hard time risking something that I put so much time and effort into building to my flying skills. Not too mention that I have had an average of about two servos a year go bad on me, always seems to happen at the least expected time and always while I'm in the air. What sort of micro is your DH flying? All rights reserved...See MoreCan we talk 'Water Closet' Tissue?
Comments (55)After the exchange of correspondence (below) with Kimberly-Clark/Scott, I decided to Google around to discover if anyone else had noted a change in white Scott Tissue. This thread and several other spots around the web demonstrate rather clearly there was not quite the thundering demand for change in the product implied by the note from K-C/Scott. Rather, the change seems to have landed with more thud than thunder. Judging by the date on this thread's original post (2006), it appears likely that Scott eased the "new and improved" Scott Tissue into the marketplace by stages: in 2009, it has only just arrived in our area. In fact, so recent is the changeover, we still had a partial roll of the original Scott Tissue from a previous 12-pak when we bought the 12-pak discussed in our note below. The comments made in this thread and elsewhere on the web prove what I, a hapless marketing peon who takes orders from on high :-), have always believed. Executive management often commission "studies", focus groups, and marketing research that will merely support the decision they are already inclined toward. ::::::::::::::::::What follows is the We Said/They Said: XX@XXmail.com wrote: From: XX@XXmail.com Sent: 7/18/2009 10:30 CDT Subject: Scott Tissue Product Quality Dear Sirs: Our family have never purchased any toilet paper except white Scott Tissue. On sale or at its regular price, we use it and prefer it over any other brand. Therefore, when there are any changes to the product, however subtle, we NOTICE. Recently, we purchased a 12-pak of Scott Tissue "1000 sheets per roll", SKU 0 54000 42120 4, and from the first roll, we unhappily discovered you appear to have changed the tissue's formula and/or manufacturing process. The rolls in this package strongly resemble "soft" tissue both in appearance and behaviour. I.e., the sheets are uniformly perforated throughout, rather than smooth; the paper's finish, rather than the familiar "semi-gloss" finish, now looks "suede-y"; rather than absorb a small amount of moisture -- as when dabbing a child's teary face or applying astringent -- it seems to shread and "melt" in one's hand; and worst of all, THIS PAPER PILLS. One of the principal reasons we have preferred Scott Tissue all these years was because it did not pill. To sum up, we don't know what changes you've made to Scott Tissue or why, but we are not happy about it. We're only three rolls into this 12-pack and this afternoon, we're going to shop for an alternative and donate the remainder of the package to a local shelter. We look forward to your reply and an explanation. If, as we hope, this 12-pack is part of an aberrant manufacturing run, we will continue to be lifelong customers. However, if this change is permanent, it stops with us. Sincerely, XX xxxxxxx46A Kimberly-Clark Corporation's Reply Ref#0xxxxx46A-KDK Monday, July 20, 2009 6:45 PM From: "consumerservicesdept@kcc.com" To: XX@XXmail.com Dear XX, Thanks for your e-mail about your experience with SCOTT® bathroom tissue. We apologize for any inconvenience. We certainly do not want the quality of our products to disappoint our loyal customers, and we are sorry if that was the case with your purchase of SCOTT bathroom tissue. Because of all the precautions taken, incidents such as you reported happen rarely, and we hope that you will accept our apology. Please be assured that we will do our best to determine what happened so steps can be taken to prevent a recurrence. Also, the new embossed sheet on SCOTT® 1000 bathroom tissue was extensively tested with consumers before it was introduced to the market.

You can be sure that we will share your comments with those involved. We hope that you will consider trying SCOTT bathroom tissue again and are sending you a coupon for a complimentary supply. Thanks again for your e-mail and for giving us an opportunity to make amends. Karyn Consumer Services Kimberly-Clark Corp. xxxxxxx46A...See MoreWhat did you grow up with?
Comments (65)Deviled ham is probably somewhat akin to Hormel's Spam. It was pretty good eating from what I recall. My grandmother always had it out at the family's old lake house, which harkens back to few other things I remember now from summers in MN at the lake: screen porch wood docks Chris Craft large hanging wicker swing and furniture bamboo cane poles cork bobbers Water Gremlin split shot black dacron fishing line worms in a coffee can metal minnow buckets metal clip stringers and metal fish baskets Lowrance green box fish lo-k-tor Mitchell spin cast; Ambassador 5500; Johnson Century; Zebco 202... Bass-O-Reno; Lazy Ike; Daredevil; Hula Popper; Gapen Ugly Bug, Crappie Queen, Doll Fly; Beetle Spin; Lindy rig; Prescott strip-on spinner... and lots of fishing, fish cleaning and fish fries. Crisco and beer batter (Schmidt, Blatz, or Hamms). Still have and use a lot of this stuff and it never gets old…except the cooking oil and beer is changed up from time to time! I haven't seen or had deviled ham in awhile, but this thread will have me looking it up again....See MoreStrange retro recipes
Comments (77)Sharing my mom's aspic 4 cups V-8 juice **use tomato juice 3 envelopes unflavored gelatin 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 1 tablespoon cider vinegar **used white wine vinegar 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 1 tablespoon grated onion 1 tsp teaspoon salt dash of Tabasco sauce 1 cup finely chopped celery **Have left off the olives and substituted shredded imitation crab meat for the green olives 1 cup sliced stuffed green olives lettuce for garnish mayonnaise In a large bowl combine cup of the V-8 juice and the gelatin and let soak to soften. In a saucepan, heat the remaining V-8 juice, add it to the gelatin and stir till the gelatin has dissolved. Add the Worcestershire, vinegar, lemon juice, onion, salt and Tabasco. Stir well. Place the bowl in the refrigerator and chill until the mixture is slightly thickened. Add the celery and olives and stir until well blended. Transfer the mixture to a shallow baking dish or eight individual molds, OR I use my mother's round mold: cover with plastic wrap and chill until firm. Remove from mold and serve the aspic on lettuce leaves and top each portion with a dollop of mayonnaise. For the mold I put the mayo in the center with the dried basil. Mayonnaise I sprinkled with dried basil GOOD for potlucks OR with chicken/tuna salad served with deviled eggs and spiced muffins...See Moreraee_gw zone 5b-6a Ohio
