I don't think anyone is more excited than I that today is March 1st. This winter, especially February, has been filled with record-breaking snow days, snow drifts, freezing rain, and below-freezing temperatures. While there is always the possibility of more snow, the likelihood has significantly decreased. Not to mention, the promise of warmer days with more sun is highly motivating. The countdown to Spring has begun with only 19 more days to go. I am drinking Yanagi Bancha to celebrate!
Composition: Japanese green tea harvested in June.
Dry Visual: Rich green and yellow coarsely twisted and broken leaves with stems present. Thanks to Obubu Tea for the great photo.
Dry Aroma: A very fresh green aroma. I am reminded of the smell of trees after a refreshing Spring rain.
Flavor: Yanagi Bancha is quite delicious. A lover of Japanese green teas, I found Yanagi Bancha to be mild yet flavorful. Naturally sweet, I thoroughly enjoyed its refreshing taste. A full-bodied tea, Yanagi Bancha has a hint of a vegetal quality throughout the cup with a floral finish. I was amazed by the changes in flavor as the cup cooled.
Yanagi Bancha has a moderate astringency that becomes more pronounced throughout the cup and into the next infusion. However, I would never add a sweetener for fear of negatively altering the flavor profile.
Liquor: A greenish-yellow hue.
Brewing Time: I steeped Yanagi Bancha in boiling water for 30 seconds during the first infusion, 20 seconds during the second infusion and 30 seconds during the third infusion.
Manufacturer: Obubu Tea
Caffeine: Yes.
If you have had the opportunity to enjoy a cup of Yanagi Bancha tea, please stop by and share your experience. Until then… Happy Tea Drinking!
**Tea was provided by Obubu Tea as a sample.

Johann STRAUSS (1825 - 1899)
Die Fledermaus - operetta in three acts (1884)

Chor und Ballett der Seefestspiele Mörbisch; Statisterie der Seefestspiele Mörbisch, Festival Orchester Mörbisch/Manfred Mayrhofer
Direction: Helmuth Lohner
Sets and Costumes: Amra Buchbinder
Choreography: Giorgio Madia
Light design: Friedrich Rom
Picture format: 16:9; Sound format: Dolby Digital 5.0 (Surround); Region Code: 0; Subtitles: English
rec. live, Seefestspiele Mörbisch 2012
The Seefestspiele Mörbisch is an annual operetta festival held since 1957 during the summer at Mörbisch am See in Austria. With approximately 150,000 visitors it is the biggest operetta festival in the world. The repertoire is basically drawn from the established Viennese standard works with occasionally some lesser known things. During the last few years there have also been a couple of musicals: My Fair Lady in 2009 and Jerry Bock's Anatevka (Fiddler on the Roof) is scheduled for 2014. Last year (2012) they showcased "the operetta of operettas" and very successful it was and remains.
The director Helmuth Lohner, who also is an inimitable and show-stealing Frosch in the last act, has produced a charming, entertaining, colourful and suitably crazy Fledermaus. He focuses quite a lot on the dancing quality of the music and engages the excellent ballet for several spectacular inserted numbers: a Furioso Polka by the elder Strauss and Tik-Tak-Polka by Johann. He even introduces the dancers during the overture, in Pierrot costumes. All the ballet scenes are as delicious and sweet as the traditional Sachertorte, served with the obligatory whipped cream. The whole production is youthful and vital, belying the director's age: he turned eighty in April this year - 2013. With a career of more than sixty years as actor on stage, in films and television and as director of spoken theatre, opera and operetta, he knows all the facets of a successful production.
Another veteran also makes his mark in this production. Harald Serafin, born 1931, finished his twenty years' sojourn as general manager of the festival with this production by taking the role of Frank, the prison director. He still sings with remarkable lightness and is a brilliant actor, not least through his expressive 'rubber' face. For me it was particularly fascinating to see him, because I saw and heard him as Danilo in Die lustige Witwe at Theater an der Wien more than forty years ago.
That his talent is inherited by the next generation is quite obvious when one sees his son Daniel as Dr. Falke in this production: handsome, excellent actor and wonderful singer. Just watch and listen to him in the act II finale (Ch. 8), where his Brüderlein is truly enchanting.
As Gabriel von Eisenstein we meet Herbert Lippert, an admirable lyric tenor whom I first encountered as Tamino on the Naxos recording of Die Zauberflöte almost twenty years ago. His smooth and expressive tenor is still in wonderful shape and he makes the most of the many comic situations he faces.
Alfred, the 'lover' of Eisenstein's wife, is a typical Italian tenor and Angus Wood is wholeheartedly Italianate, singing his entrance aria carrying an Orpheian lyre and holding his final note forever.
The Ukrainian mezzo-soprano Zoryana Kushpler is a magnificent Orlofsky, alluring in her appearance and more full-blooded, less blasé than the traditional Russian prince. Since 2007 she has been a member of the ensemble at the Vienna State Opera, where one of her colleagues is Alexandra Reinprecht, the Rosalinda in this production. Having spent some years at the Vienna Volksoper she is well versed in operetta. A splendid actress and brilliant singer she makes Klänge der Heimat (Ch. 7) one of the highlights of the performance.
The young Daniela Fally has made Adele something of a speciality. She was even awarded the Eberhard Waechter Medal for her interpretation of the role some years ag. This is understandable enough since she is a great comedienne and has extraordinary coloratura technique, including a superb trill.
The playing of the orchestra is, it need hardly be said, idiomatic and technically first class. The gusto of Unter Donner und Blitz in the party scene in act II is infectious and the chorus is also very good.
A minor warning: due to the outdoor setting the singing has to be amplified, and the microphones can be a bit disturbing when the cameras are zoomed-in for close-ups. One soon forgets this and the reproduction of the singing is impeccable.
I have long been very fond of the Covent Garden production of Fledermaus, conducted by Placido Domingo and with Hermann Prey, Kiri Te Kanawa and Benjamin Luxon among the soloists. The present version now joins that established favourite. My wife is no great admirer of Die Fledermaus, but she almost got into a trance from the very beginning and this is the highest mark a production can get. Trust my wife's judgement and place your orders.

CQ Lemon Apple Juice Infusion Recipe
CQ Infused Beverage System
1 BPA-Free, Dishwasher Safe CQ Beverage Dispenser
1 Insert (patent pending)
1 Base (natural bamboo or brushed stainless steel)
1 Lid
1 Portion Control Mixing Bucket
1 CQ Slicer Key/Wand
Confirm that the spigot is screwed in tightly and then carefully lower the insert into the jar.
Equipment Needed
1 Commercial Slicer (Do not slice by hand! If you don't have a slicer, use a mandoline)
1 Metal Strainer
1 Muddler
1 Pouch of CQ Lemon Puree
6 Hard Lemons - 24 slices
4 Apples (red or green)
1.5 Gallons of Filtered Water
1.5 Gallons of Apple Juice
The Perfect Slice
Using a slicer, cut a test slice and compare it to the thickness of the CQ slicer key (on the end of the wand). Adjust the slicer until your slices match the thickness of the slicer key. Once calibrated, slice up all ingredients as necessary.
The Art of Juice Infusions
To set the insert in place, position a lemon slice at each corner of the jar between the insert and the jar. Use the CQ Wand to push the slices all the way down. Decorate the rest of the jar using the CQ Wand to position the remaining slices as shown in the picture.
Infusing the Juice
Using the CQ wand to measure the water level, fill the CQ Mixing Bucket with 1.5 gallons of cold, filtered water and 1.5 gallons of apple juice. Add 1 pouch of CQ Lemon Puree and stir.
Next, place a metal strainer in the mixing bucket and muddle any lemon and apple slices. This technique will ensure that no fruit pieces end up blocking the spigot later. Congratulations, you've just created CQ Lemon Apple Juice Infusion!
Filling, Serving & Refreshing
Fill the beverage container to the top with ice cubes (about 10 lbs.) and add the CQ Lemon Apple Juice Infusion. To refresh, add equal amounts of ice and CQ Lemon Apple Juice Infusion.
Cleanup & Storage
Empty the beverage container's ice and liquid into the sink.
Remove the insert by sliding it upwards or by reaching into the jar by the spigot cutout to get a secure grip on the edge of the insert.
Dump any fruit, herbs or vegetables into your compost bin.
Load all plastic parts onto a dishwasher tray and run through your dishwasher. Do not wash the stainless steel or bamboo bases, instead, wipe by hand with an appropriate cleaner.
Air-dry and reassemble the CQ Infused Beverage System. Store in a secure case or room.

Head Coach Michelle Bento-Jackson
On the post players' contribution to the win:
"Our play underneath was huge for us, and Jen and Kasey did a great job on the boards, but I will say that all of our post players contributed in a lot of different ways. We knew we had to come in here and control the defensive boards, and we did a good job of that."
On the performance of the forwards:
"It was nice to see our forwards step up, and that's what we need. In order for us to have the success that we'd like to have, we need to have balance with our inside and outside game. As much as we're blessed with very good shooters, opponents scout us, so the more contribution that we can get from our inside players, it will just open up more opportunities for us."
On the play of Jen Gottschalk:
"Jen is just a scrappy, rugged player and she has a very good feel for the game. She's always full of energy and has been a tremendous addition to our program this year."
Forward Jen Gottschalk:
On the win:
"This win was what we needed. It was a road win, and I'm really glad that we played well. We kicked it in and out well, and that's what we need to do."
On the performance of the post players:
"Those were some big, strong girls out there, and the coaches prepared us well with a lot of rebounding drills yesterday. We knew that we needed to rebound well to win."
On scoring 17 points underneath:
"Boise State played good defense on our guards, so I knew that I had to contribute more than I normally do."
Forward Kasey Monteith:
On playing in front of family and friends in her hometown:
"It was amazing. The girls all came out hard and sharp and we all wanted this win. We worked really hard together for this win and it felt great."
On the rebounding efforts of the post players:
"That's a focus for us in every game, but tonight we knew that their forwards are true post players. We knew that along with taking care of the ball, rebounding was going to be the key to winning this game."

An MTA worker who stripped down to his underwear for the annual No Pants Subway Ride staged by Improv Everywhere was written up and reprimanded by a supervisor for engaging in "conduct unbecoming" even though he was off the clock when he participated in the January event, according to a published report.
More than 4,000 people in New York, along with MTA motorman Christopher Chase, participated in the 13th Annual No Pants Subway Ride Jan. 12, according to Improv Everywhere. The event, where random passengers board trains in the middle of winter with gloves, hats and scarfs but no pants, is held in more than 60 cities worldwide each year, and New York city officials have continued to sanction it.
According to the Daily News, a co-worker saw a picture of Chase on the 14th Street subway platform wearing a hooded sweatshirt, socks and green, white and blue briefs on Facebook and complained. The 39-year-old subway worker then was scolded by an MTA boss and told to vow in writing that it would not engage in similar conduct -- conduct that could tarnish the agency's reputation -- in the future.
Chase, a 13-year MTA veteran, also had to review the MTA's code of conduct, the paper said. Within that code is the rule that he is alleged to have violated. It states employees must "avoid behavior which would tend to create adverse criticism of the Authority or of the System. Their conduct, whether on or off duty on System Property, is required to be such as to merit the confidence and respect of the public and their superiors."
But since Chase was off-duty -- he told the News he was on vacation -- when he participated in the event, union officials want any mention of a reprimand erased from his employment record. Transport Workers Union Local 100 lawyer Betzabeth Sanchez complained in a letter to the MTA that him getting written up was "plainly unreasonable" and violated his right to free speech, the News reported.
MTA spokesman Kevin Ortiz confirmed to the News that Chase was written up, but said he "was not disciplined." He had no further comment to the paper other than, "We received a complaint and had to look into it."

First I made a plate out of some ABS plastic. I used a clear piece of plastic as a template so I could see the old EVX-2 mounting holes. Then traced that on to the ABS plastic. The plate mounts to the chassis using the EVX-2s mounting holes.
Then I placed the VXL-3s ESCs side by side. They had to be offset to fit.They actually screw down.
I made my unslow (parallel) harness a bit different. Notice the ESC wiring for reversing the rotation of the front motor. I used a servo Y harness for the ESCs.
Right now I'm running 18T pinions. I have not had much time to adjust gearing. Program the transmitter to the ESCs first thing.
Why do this? A twin VXL set up? Its waterproof! Also if you have the motors or part out a couple of Slash 4x4s the motors become very cheap. This almost cost me almost nothing. Ebay fees if that. If you have enought to buy a Slash 4x4 then you can part it buy another and then youre done. Its cheaper than buying 2 VXL combos for $260.
Nice! I can hear the forum erupting....
Looks good but what is the mini servo for?
havnt failed I just found 1000 ways that wont work
looks like its for a 2-speed. just a guess..
what was that? what was what..oh that. thats mine.
I guess this post could go in the brushless forum now :>)
Lot of guys there would appriciate it. I am wondering if it would be worth it to convert my 3.3 over and run 2 VXLs I already have.
havnt failed I just found 1000 ways that wont work
Right now you are my god! I have been thinking of this for so long! I would like to know how you'r temps are, how the runtimes are, what batteries you are using and how the performance is VS a 4cell single motor setup? And, does anyone know if there is any difference betwen the motors that came with the old "non waterproof" esc's and the new ones? I'm asking because I have a vxl lying on my desk with a broken shaft, maybe I will buy a new magnet/shaft and buy two vxl esc's and another vxl motor if my waterproof mambamax/feigao combo quits on me. The vxl combo is so amazingly cool. i'm sitting here and wishes that I had never bought the mamba last week. I hope you will have a LOT of fun with it!

don't get so excited do a search for dual VXL and you will find ton's of people that have done this and hate it due to many reason's like weight and lot's more like being front heavy ...i doubt it is as fast as a single motor 4s setup but i could be wrong on this ...its really not such a great setup it might be water proof but it will cost you more than a MMM combo unless you happen to have everything already ...sorry to rain on your paradeOriginally Posted by Manne
I know you wish you bought a tekin RX8
hahaha i have done my reading, but i have only seen posts and threads about dual maxx trucks, no revos, just one on youtube, or? maybe there were one around here? but he did just stop answering questions after a while and i have never found the thread since that.... i have been using a single vxl setup in my revo and i liked it, traxxas velineon project were 50mph plus.... but i think that one had heat issues and were overgeared. if you gear for 40 or 35, you might have a good working setup? tell us Mr it8ezbngrn how it works for you
If it was done on a Maxx truck and wasn't all that it was cracked up to be, what makes you think it will be different on the revo?
I always find the V-Twin setup to have a "cool" factor to it, but I wouldn't go that route personally. More to go wrong, way more complicated, truck doesn't look tidy at all. Even if I already had the motor/esc's I'd rather sell them in favor of a single motor setup.
Well for those of us who live in wet climates, cover the zip-tied wiring up with a lid, and are not speed demons; this could work well.
I for one am looking forward to seeing how this fairs out.
Yeah but the waterproof is awsome. I might go this route as waterfroofing the MMM was turining into a major project. This might have a little less punch but I like the fact its set up for snow ETCOriginally Posted by 2IS

its 2010 the future! why can't we have waterproof BL setups ..we have sent robots to mars we have a laboratory in outter space. and one offshore 70 feet below the sea. we can transplant hearts livers reattach severed limbs clone animals. but not waterproof a circuit board? there is a mini sub that can reach the bottom of the marianas trench! a depth of over 30,000ft.

Dear Haters,
I did this for one reason. Waterproof. I am well aware of the Mamba Monster and other ESCs and motors. I do not live in a cave.
I also bought a 2 new Slash 4x4's for $329ea from Tower. Pulled the motor and ESC. Sold the chassis radio batts and tires seperate for a combined total of $345 ea. I could of got more on the chassis too. So The $15 from each left over went to ebay fees and the rest is the cost of the ESC and motor combo. So I got two VXLs for $30 or less versus paying $240 for a MMM. I may not beat you on land but I will beat you under water.
Now for the folks intersted in doing this....
I'm sticking with 7 cell 4600mah nimhs cuase I had them and they are more water friendly. I had to purchase a servo Y cable and some 12ga wire. I had the plastic plate laying around. Last night I ran on batteries that I had laying around for a month and did not know what thier condition was. Using 18Ts the speed was about the same as a brushed with fresh batts and the motors were barely warm. I also had a pinion back off teh shaft. Gear mesh was noisy. So I am going to start fresh tonight and continue testing the gearing.
What is probably the most important part is to program the ESCs to the radio first thing. Also remeber to do teh unslow harness which is just paralleling the batts together so the ESCs see teh same voltage. Helps keep them "even". This was all a piece of cake it. It took longer to make the plate and mount the ESCs. I never really drive this, its my snow toy and family loaner and to spend $240 on it was not sensible. But I could front some money to part out some slashes in order to do this for almost nothing. It was this or buy a another Slash 4x4. I didn't want to and this is a unique R/C and is fun in different ways and can handle deep snow and plow through tall grass and weeds. So I will post updates with gears and motor temps till I get the right combo for me.

definitely keep us posted!
Batts are low I can see it get slower. 18T seems like too low of a gear. Wheelies for 50+ feet. pulls the front wheel off the ground comming out of a corner. Top end could be better. Running around and doing a lot of long WOT passes the motor and ESC temps are the high 80's. Body is off and its 50 degrees outside. Going Try fresh batts later and then go up to the stock E-Revo 19T pinion. To go higher I will need to buy some pinions.
Seems like its way torquer and faster in 2nd than first. I thought it would be stupid torqy in first. Hmmm.
Wish i had my 21T pinions.
If you are low 80s then yeah time to gear up.
In first i bet the slipper is kicking in from the low end torque...
in know this isnt as fast as the mmm but is it sort of close cause i might want to try it
Sounds nice but i would like to see some 3s Lipo running and temps. As stated before, the waterproofnes is the main thing. A lot more power then a brushed setup, maintence free and waterproof. Keep up the good work!
First off, I think it does look Tidy. My twin Titans look no worse. Actually, aside from performance and feasability, this truck looks trick. Sharp looking Vileneons, dual ESC's, fat wires tied up nicely... I think he did a great job and invested enough time to do things the right way. And yea, its now waterproof! That was the goal. Sure he could go with one motor and gear it down a ton but this should do the trick for him.Originally Posted by 2IS
Its too elaborate for me to bother with, I would rather waterproof a MMM an d go that route, but that is only me. If I had the parts in front of me though, I would try this too.
Someone mentioned front heavy... If you can overcome that in the air, then its perfect. Wheelies are cool but staying planted is always nice when trying to run hard. I doubt its any more front heavy then my brushed stocker.
I say KUDOS!!!
Phs 2 S-Maxx build- 24/54 gears. Can U say faster?
i have read around and seen a lot of these done!! e revo and maxx trucks. i think it is very cool and well he still has his warrenty on them vs if he did this with a mmm he would kill his warrenty buy waterproofing the esc. i plan to do this between now and this time next year to a maxx truck.
plus it hardly cost him anything other then some time and effort, as far as it being front heavy, i dont see the vxl motor being any heavier then the titan as stated above!!

How well does the shift system work? Is it a "shift on the fly" deal or is it more like reverse on a nitro where you have to stop completely before you activate it? I want to install it on mine but looking for some feedback before I drop the dough on it.
Phs 2 S-Maxx build- 24/54 gears. Can U say faster?
Couldnt you of just sold the 2 vxl combos and bought a mamba monster? I paid $200 for my mamba monster. You could easily get $100 for each vxl combo.
Mine with Dewalt and 2 speed is the same. It will wheely better in 2nd. I think it's because it runs out of rpm's too fast in 1st. If you try to crawl or play around on some very rough terrain or steep hills then 1st becomes invaluable. Very controlled speed and the higher torque will become evident. 1st gear is great in heavy snow as well when the wheels get packed with snow.Originally Posted by it8ezbngrn
When my Titans were still alive I was not that impressed by the 2 speed. Was too slow in 1st. Now with the Dewalt I have it geared higher and gained about 3 mph in 1st and 6 mph in second. Much more usable and I run 90% of the time in 1st in the snow. During warmer weather then I only used 1st about 10% of the time.Originally Posted by T-MAXXTER
Yes it is shift on the fly. You get the choice of a wide(50:1) or close(30:1) ratio 1st, and 2nd is the same as stock gearing. You can shift from 1st to 2nd anytime if you run the close ratio gearing, but it will only shift when there is no load on the driveline. A simple ease of the throttle will allow it to shift at speed. 2nd to 1st shifts require you to slow way down, but there is no need to stop.
Awesome! It would be a no go if I had to stop everytime. I can see many occasions where I would like to shift on the fly.

Allow me to reiterate... As he mentioned before, this is his back up truck that he keeps going for his family to use and his goal was WATERPROOF! Lets not argue the fact that the Mamba can or cannot be waterproofed. That is personal preference and risk. The fact remains, VXL is waterproof with a warranty, Mamba is not.Originally Posted by RCA_Braden
Why beat him up over his set up. He didn't post his efforts to be bashed and ridiculed. Whether its an original or practical idea or not, he posted to give others a little help and to offer his findings and experience. I enjoy threads like these a lot and I find it sad when others choose to bring negativity to the plate.
Phs 2 S-Maxx build- 24/54 gears. Can U say faster?
You need to chill out. No one is beating him up over this, so stop taking it personally. People are simply asking "why" which is not an unreasonable question. This is a public forum, not everyone is going to give you praise for doing something different and that's never going to change. Take a deep breath and calm down.Originally Posted by T-MAXXTER
Thanks T-Maxxter.
Also another point I had was I still have the "1/2 power" option for kids, family, GF etc. Even if this was only as fast as the stock setup, I would still be happy. I have almost nothing into it. I have alot less maint. The run time used to be 20 min at best. The other motors always needed to be cleaned and re-oiled and I ran Outerwears covers. I was having issues with it just running cruddy and hot last summer. It was seriously getting on my nerves. It had to go BL or just GO! When I got my Slash 4x4 I put them side by side and said to myself, "I have to keep it" So I looked on ebay and saw Slash 4x4 Rollers going for $$$ and said nows my chance.
Definatley Better on the stock E-Revo 19T pinions. Temp outside is 50 degrees. Running with no lid, in the wet and using 4600 mah 8.4 7 cells I got temps of 90ish. ESCs were high 80s or something batts were staying cool. This is after 5 or so minutes of just WOT passes and some short course type driving. SO I need to try again with the lid on. Its about all I can do for now. Out of pinions. So off to the LHS for so 20 maybe 21Ts. I think I may stop there. Its pretty quick and still rides a wheelie for a ways. Torque is still good and plenty for a course and I want to keep it that way. Also I have to take account that I usually run this in the summer in a dry 80 degree to 90 degree climate.
I got the 2nd speed option kit as a safety. My 5 yr old nephew drives this also. It was more effective when I had the brushed motors. That way I had 4 levels of speed. 1/2 power & 1st gear, 1st gear & full, 1/2 & 2nd, 2nd& full. In other words- nephew, niece, brother & me. Also it would allow for more run time and that would keep him "busy" longer. A downside is that the micro servo is not digital. So I can't use HRS on my Futaba.
The dual Futaba S9351s have been working flawlessly. They are Water Resistant. But they use the 2 letter designater WP on the Futaba site. So I'm guessing that they same "resistant" to avaoid any claims.
The servo Y harness has liquid electrical take at the wire ends and the Shrink wrapped and the ends zipped tied. The Y harnes for the servos I just used electrical bulb grease in teh plugs then shrink wrapped and zip tied. It could be cleaner if I just shortened the wires, soldiered all the connections and got rid of the plugs. I didn't want to void the ESC warranty.
Oh Its doing better over speed bumps at full speed now. But I have not tried it at the BMX track or my brothers MX track. Well see if suspesion changes will have to be made. If it nose dives. It just to do fine on the jumps and bad over the speed bumps so yes weight must have changed. The two 7c nimhs don't help with the over all weight but may be a benefit balancing it out in the air. And being able to ballon a tire probably helps too.
I wasn't taking it personally until you chimed in so thank you for that. I'm a grown adult reading thread after thread of people bashing other people's work. Maybe this isn't the best example of "bashing" but the point remains. I'll chill out if you re-read this whole thread. There is more than just "why" posted here. If I knew how to quote more than one, I would, but he was the last to ask a question that was already answered on page one. It started sounding "picky" which is just not necessary here.Originally Posted by 2IS
I see your side and I respect your opinion. Just understand that despite this is public, common courtesy applies everywhere. If you can't say anything nice, don't say it. If you have constructive advice, give it that way. I don't care if some won't give "praise". Just don't be a jerk about how its not worthy of praise. There is no need to blab about everything he should have done different or how it was money poorly spent. He obviously has a strong mechanical sense so I'm sure he planned it all quite well. That's all I will say on that subject as this is not the place as you said as well.

No one was being disrespectful or bashing, thats the whole point. Sure people were asking questions and giving their opinions but no one was out of line or insulting by doing so... So really, your point most certainly does not remain, since the things you just said you have a problem with aren't happening in this thread.
imo everyone who is saying "why not the mmm" is being disrespectful!!

Now I realize why your so mad at me... Your the one with the negative remarks I was thinking of. Your upset because I called you out on page one with the whole "truck doesn't look tidy at all" thing. It turns out that the only person you were sticking up for was... you! Ok. Maybe the guy asking "why not the MMM for the same price" was just not reading thoroughly but you clearly did. What's your excuse? I said I wouldn't say anymore and here I go again. I'm done, again. Sorry it8ezbngrn. Didn't mean to contribute to ruining your informative thread. Keep the updates coming.Originally Posted by 2IS
I wonder if the 50 degree temps are enough to keep everything so much cooler then they would be in your typical summer temp range? I find with Nitro that temps aren't effected too much until the air temp drops near the freezing range. I know its apples and oranges but the load is what causes most of the heat and my nitros can overheat in cool or hot weather from running hard. Then let them sit and idle and the temps actually drop even in summer. My point is that I bet the summer isn't going to raise those temps you have now all that much, maybe 20-30 over outside temp? Just a guess but I think you'll be fine.

I have a dual VXL Maxx. A lot have told me not to do so but it has been running great for around two years now. I run 3s Lipos and it is stupid fast. I break alot more now. I like the idea of this for waterproofness. I do not have a Revo but I do have a Summit. I wonder if there is enough room on the Summit to do this?
If I was mad at you for your reply, I would have replied to you sooner, but I didn't. I responded when I saw you lash out at ANYONE who didn't share your opinion.
My excuse? Excuse for what? I said it has a cool factor but I don't think it looks tidy, my opinion hasn't changed and I certainly don't need to make excuses for it nor was I disrespectful in saying what I said. You said you think think it does look tidy, which is fine.
I unlike you, I realize people are entitled to their opinions. That's why when you gave your opinion I kept my mouth shut. But when I and others gave their opinions, that didn't happen to agree with yours, you had to respond. People are going to disagree with you, get over it.
I am thoroughly impressed by how much you care about this thread. Lets see if you care enough to control your emotional outbursts and stick to your word (this time) and not respond to this.
2is I think you are right. So let's not speak like that anymore. That was some very nice temps, wonder how much they will increase with lipos? New2maxx, what batteries are you running? And have you used it alot or just a little under those two years?. Have you had any issues with the setup under there two years? Esc failur or motor failur? How,s the heat for you and what gearing are you running?

Why are you guys trying to get this thread closed?
T-maxxter how did I bash his setup?
I just simply asked wouldnt a single setup be easier? No need to get your panties in a bunch. This build is cool and unique and I have not seen it before in a revo, although I would have went (and did) go a different route thats cool, i respect that (and maybe you should too).
Rustler09, how is saying that I (yes ME!) would of went a different route or asking his reasons for not choosing a single setup rude?
People really need to chill out over the internet... Im sure enough of us deal with stupid stuff in real life.
OP that very unique and cool, good job on keeping it clean and +1 for trying something different.

Mods, its time for a clean up including ALL of my posts. Obviously its all my fault so clear me out of it. I wanted to let it be and its not working that way. Sorry to all for ruffling feathers. I had no point and never did, and never do. Despite who agreed with me, its not worth ruining what could still be a fun thread to follow. Again, sorry. I'll stick up for my own threads from now on, if I even bother to ever start one again.

D-backs prospect Lamb enjoying AFL opportunity
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- D-backs infield prospect Jake Lamb rode the roller coaster during his second Minor League season in 2013.
Lamb played well at third base but was plagued by a broken hamate bone in his hand that kept him out of action for nearly a month.
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- D-backs infield prospect Jake Lamb rode the roller coaster during his second Minor League season in 2013.
Lamb played well at third base but was plagued by a broken hamate bone in his hand that kept him out of action for nearly a month.
Lamb, the No. 11 prospect on the D-backs' Top 20 list, needed more at-bats and sensed that he would be getting them in the club's Arizona instructional league after the completion of the regular season.
The D-backs then told him that yes, he would be getting those at-bats, but he would be getting them in the Arizona Fall League, not the instructional league.
Most young players know that playing in the AFL can be a significant step in their career. Lamb was no different.
"I thought, 'Wow, this is an amazing opportunity.' I was pumped,'' said Lamb, sitting in the Salt River Rafters' clubhouse before a recent AFL game.
"These are the top young players coming up in the game. It's great to be able to play with and against them and show people what I can do.''
Through the season's first five weeks, Lamb hit .292 with four doubles, one home run and seven RBIs in 17 games.
The 6-foot-2, 200-pound Lamb was Arizona's sixth-round Draft pick in 2012 out of the University of Washington. He hit .329 in 67 games for Missoula of the Pioneer League (Rookie) in 2012. In 2013, he hit .294 in five games with the Arizona Rookie League D-backs, then hit .303 with Visalia in the Class A Advanced California League. He helped Visalia reach the league championship series against San Jose, which won it in five games. He also had an on-base percentage of .424 with 48 walks.
Coming to the AFL, Lamb said, "You realize that first game that everybody is legit. There are few weaknesses.''
Lamb's hand is fine, for the most part, although he feels an occasional twinge on certain swings. He hits left-handed and broke the bone swinging the bat in a game with Visalia.
"It just popped,'' Lamb said.
The bone was surgically removed, which is common, and after some rehabilitation, it took him only about a game or two to return to his old self, he said.
Lamb has played third base most of his career and that is where he expects to stay. No position switches.
"I think [the D-backs] see me as a third baseman of the future, and if I am honest with myself, I say the same thing,'' he said. "I feel like I will be able to play at that [the Major League] level.
"I have got to keep improving, though. It's a constant battle.''
Defense is a big part of the equation. Lamb has made four errors in the AFL.
"Throwing over [to first base] is the easiest part. You have already caught the ball, which is the hardest part,'' he said. "There's no excuse for [errors], really.''
Lamb said much of the solution is footwork, being in the right position at the start of the at-bat, and knowing the hitters, although he admitted that part is difficult since he has not seen most of the hitters.
The Rafters' home games are at Salt River Fields, the Spring Training home of the D-backs. Does Lamb feel any more pressure to succeed, considering the fact the team's front-office personnel could be watching a lot of games?
"I don't really notice [the extra attention],'' he said. "I'm not a guy who looks up in the stands. I figure there will be plenty of bigger crowds down the road.
"The second you start worrying about being called up, your numbers can go down. You hear people say it all the time, 'Don't worry about it,' but it's true. You can't worry about the past. You can't worry about the future. You can only worry about the present and to be the best you can be.''

Progress on the Robert Moses Parkway is Long Overdue but NYPA Has the Responsibility & Capacity to Fund the Project
May 7, 2013
Press Release
Statement by Congressman Brian Higgins
"The Robert Moses Parkway is a physical and economic barrier to reconnecting Niagara Falls with its waterfront and the State's commitment of action on this project is momentous and long-awaited. Niagara Falls is a majestic national treasure, deserving of serious attention and a redefined welcome mat for the millions of visitors is critical to our region's future.
"Nevertheless, diverting scarce state or federal resources to fund this project is letting the New York Power Authority off the hook. It is a historical fact that NYPA owns the infrastructure; consequently NYPA owns the responsibility to fix this. Since the 1960's the City of Niagara Falls has shouldered the negative impact of NYPA's actions to build the Robert Moses Parkway. It cut off the city from its namesake falls and with it cut off economic growth. NYPA has an obligation and capacity to right this historic wrong. In addition, freeing up funding from government sources provides an opportunity to maximize impact by redirecting these critical dollars into additional investments in Niagara Falls.
"Niagara Falls was shortchanged in the past and I am here to do everything I can to fight to see that never happens again."

text: Show Hide image Politics 29 November 2012 Profile in courage — G D H Cole Jonathan Derbyshire on the pioneering social and political theorist who did more than most to bring about the ideals of the Beveridge report. Sign-up The New Statesman offered a robust welcome to William Beveridge's Social Insurance and Allied Services in a leading article in the issue of 5 December 1942 (the report had been published four days earlier). The NS, that week's leader declared, looked "highly favourabl[y]" on Beveridge's proposals. If Sir William were to get his way, it went on, we would see an end to the "long-tolerated scandal of the exploitation of the poor by insurance companies" and the introduction of a "guaranteed income" for every working person when he or she fell sick, was injured at work or became unemployed. Not only was it morally desirable for the state to take responsibility for ensuring "security of income" and the provision of what Beveridge called a "national minimum", it was efficient, too. The leader cited the "monstrous figures of waste" involved in the existing system of private insurance. Though some of the details of the plan might be quibbled with, the schemes for social insurance, children's allowances and an "all-in scheme of medical treatment of every kind for everybody" were "worth backing through thick and thin". Yet social security on its own, the NS declared, was not enough to give every household in the country a "tolerable living income". Only an active economic policy designed to bring about "full employment" could do that. Beveridge recognised this, acknowledging that "income security by itself would not produce a good society". The Statesman returned to this theme in its leader of 26 December 1942. Beveridge had been concerned with protecting people against temporary interruptions of income, not with guaranteeing to all citizens an income on which "a decent standard of life can be sustained". That required economic planning and the imposition of certain "conditions" on industry. As for those who insisted that such planning offended against the laws of political economy, they were "talking nonsense". In March 1943, the NS published a pamphlet, entitled The Beveridge Plan: Where Are We Now?, by the political theorist and longstanding contributor G D H Cole. (Beveridge subsequently joined Cole in helping to set up the Social Security League, which campaigned for immediate implementation of his report.) Cole's pamphlet examined the response of the wartime coalition government to Beveridge's plan. He feared that the recommendations of a committee chaired by Sir John Anderson, the Lord President of the Council, threatened to weaken the original vision. "The discrepancies between Sir William Beveridge's Plan," Cole wrote, "and what the Government is willing to accept are very serious." He was particularly worried about the government's reluctance to recommend the establishment of a new ministry for social security. The government favoured instead setting up a statutory board or commission that would take responsibility for those aspects of social security that existing departments of state could not handle. Cole detected a "fear of democratic control". He reiterated the point about full employment that the NSleader had made. Without a commitment on the part of the central government to maintain production and employment, "most projects of social amelioration will come to nothing". Beveridge believed the same. In a letter of February 1943, he wrote: "While I am still mildly interested in my own proposals for Social Insurance and Allied Services, I am much more interested in the much more important problems of maintenance of employment (Assumption C of my Report) [and] of the organisation of industry . . ." By this time he was already at work on Full Employment in a Free Society, the sequel to his first report; it was eventually published in November 1944. The NS published a 50-page summary of the second Beveridge report as a pamphlet. It ends with a ringing peroration on the "meaning of social conscience". Beveridge writes: "The Policy for Full Employment outlined in this Summary is a policy of spending and doing. It is a policy of common action. If we attack with determination, unity and clear aim, the four giant evils of Want, Disease, Ignorance and Squalor, we shall destroy in the process their confederate – the fifth giant of Idleness enforced by mass-unemployment."

Ella Jane Fitzgerald (April 25, 1917 - June 15, 1996), also known as the "First Lady of Song" "Queen of Jazz" and "Lady Ella," was an American jazz and song vocalist. With a vocal range spanning three octaves (D♭3 to D♭6), she was noted for her purity of tone, impeccable diction, phrasing and intonation, and a "horn-like" improvisational ability, particularly in her scat singing.
She was a notable interpreter of the Great American Songbook. Over the course of her 59-year recording career, she was the winner of 13 Grammy Awards and was awarded the National Medal of Arts by Ronald Reagan and the Presidential Medal of Freedom by George H. W. Bush.
Early life
Fitzgerald was born in Newport News, Virginia, the child of a common-law marriage between William and Temperance "Tempie" Fitzgerald. The pair separated soon after her birth and she and her mother went to Yonkers, New York, where they eventually moved in with Tempie's longtime boyfriend, Joseph Da Silva. Fitzgerald's half-sister, Frances Da Silva, was born in 1923.
In her youth Fitzgerald wanted to be a dancer, although she loved listening to jazz recordings by Louis Armstrong, Bing Crosby and The Boswell Sisters. She idolized the lead singer Connee Boswell, later saying, "My mother brought home one of her records, and I fell in love with it....I tried so hard to sound just like her."
In 1932, her mother died from a heart attack. Following this trauma, Fitzgerald's grades dropped dramatically and she frequently skipped school. Abused by her stepfather, she was first taken in by an aunt and at one point worked as a lookout at a bordello and also with a Mafia-affiliated numbers runner. When the authorities caught up with her, she was first placed in the Colored Orphan Asylum in Riverdale, the Bronx. However, when the orphanage proved too crowded she was moved to the New York Training School for Girls in Hudson, New York, a state reformatory. Eventually she escaped and for a time was homeless.
She made her singing debut at 17 on November 21, 1934, at the Apollo Theater in Harlem, New York. She pulled in a weekly audience at the Apollo and won the opportunity to compete in one of the earliest of its famous "Amateur Nights". She had originally intended to go on stage and dance but, intimidated by the Edwards Sisters, a local dance duo, she opted to sing instead in the style of Connee Boswell. She sang Boswell's "Judy" and "The Object of My Affection," a song recorded by the Boswell Sisters, and won the first prize of US$25.00.
Later life
Fitzgerald married at least twice, and there is evidence that she may have married a third time. In 1941 she married Benny Kornegay, a convicted drug dealer and local dockworker. The marriage was annulled after two years.
Her second marriage, in December 1947, was to the famous bass player Ray Brown, whom she had met while on tour with Dizzy Gillespie's band a year earlier. Together they adopted a child born to Fitzgerald's half-sister, Frances, whom they christened Ray Brown, Jr. With Fitzgerald and Brown often busy touring and recording, the child was largely raised by her aunt, Virginia. Fitzgerald and Brown divorced in 1953, bowing to the various career pressures both were experiencing at the time, though they would continue to perform together.
In July 1957, Reuters reported that Fitzgerald had secretly married Thor Einar Larsen, a young Norwegian, in Oslo. She had even gone as far as furnishing an apartment in Oslo, but the affair was quickly forgotten when Larsen was sentenced to five months hard labor in Sweden for stealing money from a young woman to whom he had previously been engaged.
Fitzgerald was also notoriously shy. Trumpet player Mario Bauza, who played behind Fitzgerald in her early years with Chick Webb, remembered that "she didn't hang out much. When she got into the band, she was dedicated to her music....She was a lonely girl around New York, just kept herself to herself, for the gig." When, later in her career, the Society of Singers named an award after her, Fitzgerald explained, "I don't want to say the wrong thing, which I always do. I think I do better when I sing."
Already visually impaired by the effects of diabetes, Fitzgerald had both her legs amputated in 1993. In 1996 she died of the disease in Beverly Hills, California at the age of 79. She is buried in the Inglewood Park Cemetery in Inglewood, California. The career history and archival material from Ella's long career are housed in the Archives Center at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History while her personal music arrangements are at The Library of Congress. Her extensive cookbook collection was donated to the Schlesinger Library at Harvard University while her published sheet music collection is at the Schoenberg Library at UCLA.
Big-band singing:
In January 1935, Fitzgerald won the chance to perform for a week with the Tiny Bradshaw band at the Harlem Opera House. She met drummer and bandleader Chick Webb there. Webb had already hired singer Charlie Linton to work with the band and was, The New York Times later wrote, "reluctant to sign her....because she was gawky and unkempt, a diamond in the rough." Webb offered her the opportunity to test with his band when they played a dance at Yale University.
She began singing regularly with Webb's Orchestra through 1935 at Harlem's Savoy Ballroom. Fitzgerald recorded several hit songs with them, including "Love and Kisses" and "(If You Can't Sing It) You'll Have to Swing It (Mr. Paganini)". But it was her 1938 version of the nursery rhyme, "A-Tisket, A-Tasket", a song she co-wrote, that brought her wide public acclaim.
Chick Webb died on June 16, 1939, and his band was renamed "Ella and her Famous Orchestra" with Ella taking on the role of nominal bandleader. Fitzgerald recorded nearly 150 sides with the orchestra before it broke up in 1942, "the majority of them novelties and disposable pop fluff".
The Decca years:
In 1942, Fitzgerald left the band to begin a solo career. Now signed to the Decca label, she had several popular hits while recording with such artists as the Ink Spots, Louis Jordan, and the Delta Rhythm Boys.
With Decca's Milt Gabler as her manager, she began working regularly for the jazz impresario Norman Granz, and appeared regularly in his Jazz at the Philharmonic (JATP) concerts. Fitzgerald's relationship with Granz was further cemented when he became her manager, although it would be nearly a decade before he could record her on one of his many record labels.
With the demise of the Swing era and the decline of the great touring big bands, a major change in jazz music occurred. The advent of bebop led to new developments in Fitzgerald's vocal style, influenced by her work with Dizzy Gillespie's big band. It this in was period that Fitzgerald started including scat singing as a major part of her performance repertoire. While singing with Gillespie, Fitzgerald recalled, "I just tried to do with my voice what I heard the horns in the band doing."
Her 1945 scat recording of "Flying Home" arranged by Vic Schoen would later be described by The New York Times as "one of the most influential vocal jazz records of the decade....Where other singers, most notably Louis Armstrong, had tried similar improvisation, no one before Miss Fitzgerald employed the technique with such dazzling inventiveness." Her bebop recording of "Oh, Lady be Good!" (1947) was similarly popular and increased her reputation as one of the leading jazz vocalists.
Move to Verve and mainstream success:
Further information: The Complete Ella Fitzgerald Songbooks
Fitzgerald was still performing at Granz's JATP concerts by 1955. Fitzgerald left Decca and Granz, now her manager, created Verve Records around her.
Fitzgerald later described the period as strategically crucial, saying, "I had gotten to the point where I was only singing be-bop. I thought be-bop was 'it,' and that all I had to do was go some place and sing bop. But it finally got to the point where I had no place to sing. I realized then that there was more to music than bop. Norman ... felt that I should do other things, so he produced The Cole Porter Songbook with me. It was a turning point in my life."
Ella Fitzgerald Sings the Cole Porter Songbook, released in 1956, was the first of eight multi-album Songbook sets Fitzgerald would record for Verve at irregular intervals from 1956 to 1964. The composers and lyricists spotlighted on each set, taken together, represent the greatest part of the cultural canon known as the Great American Songbook. Her song selections ranged from standards to rarities and represented an attempt by Fitzgerald to cross over into a non-jazz audience.
Ella Fitzgerald Sings the Duke Ellington Songbook was the only Songbook on which the composer she interpreted played with her. Duke Ellington and his longtime collaborator Billy Strayhorn both appeared on exactly half the set's 38 tracks and wrote two new pieces of music for the album: "The E and D Blues" and a four-movement musical portrait of Fitzgerald (the only Songbook track on which Fitzgerald does not sing). The Songbook series ended up becoming the singer's most critically acclaimed and commercially successful work, and probably her most significant offering to American culture. The New York Times wrote in 1996, "These albums were among the first pop records to devote such serious attention to individual songwriters, and they were instrumental in establishing the pop album as a vehicle for serious musical exploration."
A few days after Fitzgerald's death, New York Times columnist Frank Rich wrote that in the Songbook series Fitzgerald "performed a cultural transaction as extraordinary as Elvis's contemporaneous integration of white and African-American soul. Here was a black woman popularizing urban songs often written by immigrant Jews to a national audience of predominantly white Christians."Frank Sinatra was moved out of respect for Fitzgerald to block Capitol Records from re-releasing his own recordings in a similar, single composer vein.
Fitzgerald also recorded albums exclusively devoted to the songs of Porter and Gershwin in 1972 and 1983; the albums being, respectively, Ella Loves Cole and Nice Work If You Can Get It. A later collection devoted to a single composer was released during her time with Pablo Records, Ella Abraça Jobim, featuring the songs of Antonio Carlos Jobim.
While recording the Songbooks and the occasional studio album, Fitzgerald toured 40 to 45 weeks per year in the United States and internationally, under the tutelage of Norman Granz. Granz helped solidify her position as one of the leading live jazz performers.
In the mid-1950s, Fitzgerald became the first African-American to perform at the Mocambo, after Marilyn Monroe had lobbied the owner for the booking. The booking was instrumental in Fitzgerald's career. The incident was turned into a play by Bonnie Greer in 2005. There are several live albums on Verve that are highly regarded by critics. Ella at the Opera House shows a typical JATP set from Fitzgerald. Ella in Rome and Twelve Nights In Hollywood display her vocal jazz canon. Ella in Berlin is still one of her best selling albums; it includes a Grammy-winning performance of "Mack the Knife" in which she forgets the lyrics, but improvises magnificently to compensate.
As Will Friedwald noted,
Unlike any other singer you could name, Fitzgerald has the most amazing asset in the very sound of her voice: it's easily one of the most beautiful and sonically perfect sounds known to man. Even if she couldn't do anything with it, the instrument that Fitzgerald starts with is dulcet and pure and breathtakingly beautiful. As Henry Pleasants has observed, she has a wider range than most opera singers, and many of the latter, including Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, are among her biggest fans. And the intonation that goes with the voice is, to put it conservatively, God-like. Fitzgerald simply exists in tune, and she hits every note that there is without the slightest trace of effort. Other singers tend to sound like they're trying to reach up to a note - Fitzgerald always sounds like she's already there. If anything, she's descending from her heavenly perch and swooping down to whatever pitch she wants.
Henry Pleasants, an American classical-music critic, wrote this about her:
She has a lovely voice, one of the warmest and most radiant in its natural range that I have heard in a lifetime of listening to singers in every category. She has an impeccable and ultimately sophisticated rhythmic sense, and flawless intonation. Her harmonic sensibility is extraordinary. She is endlessly inventive... it is not so much what she does, or even the way she does it, it's what she does not do. What she does not do, putting it simply as possible, is anything wrong. There is simply nothing in performance to which one would take exception... Everything seems to be just right. One would not want it any other way. Nor can one, for a moment imagine it any other way. Fitzgerald had an extraordinary vocal range. A mezzo-soprano (who sang much lower than most classical contraltos), she had a range of "2 octaves and a sixth from a low D or D flat to a high B flat and possibly higher".
Later years:
Verve Records was sold to MGM in 1963 for $3 million and in 1967 MGM failed to renew Fitzgerald's contract. Over the next five years she flitted between Atlantic, Capitol and Reprise. Her material at this time represented a departure from her typical jazz repertoire. For Capitol she recorded Brighten the Corner, an album of hymns, Ella Fitzgerald's Christmas, an album of traditional Christmas carols, Misty Blue, a country and western-influenced album, and 30 by Ella, a series of six medleys that fulfilled her obligations for the label. During this period, she had her last US chart single with a cover of Smokey Robinson's "Get Ready", previously a hit for The Temptations, and some months later a top-five hit for Rare Earth.
The surprise success of the 1972 album Jazz at Santa Monica Civic '72 led Granz to found Pablo Records, his first record label since the sale of Verve. Fitzgerald recorded some 20 albums for the label. Ella in London recorded live in 1974 with pianist Tommy Flanagan, guitarist Joe Pass, bassist Keter Betts and drummer Bobby Durham, was considered by many to be some of her best work. The following year she again performed with Joe Pass on German television station NDR in Hamburg. Her years with Pablo Records also documented the decline in her voice. "She frequently used shorter, stabbing phrases, and her voice was harder, with a wider vibrato", one biographer wrote. Plagued by health problems, Fitzgerald made her last recording in 1991 and her last public performances in 1993.
Film and television
In her most notable screen role, Fitzgerald played the part of singer Maggie Jackson in Jack Webb's 1955 jazz film Pete Kelly's Blues. The film costarred Janet Leigh and singer Peggy Lee. Even though she had already worked in the movies (she had sung briefly in the 1942 Abbott and Costello film Ride 'Em Cowboy), she was "delighted" when Norman Granz negotiated the role for her, and, "at the time....considered her role in the Warner Brothers movie the biggest thing ever to have happened to her." Amid The New York Times' pan of the film when it opened in August 1955, the reviewer wrote, "About five minutes (out of ninety-five) suggest the picture this might have been. Take the ingenious prologue ... or take the fleeting scenes when the wonderful Ella Fitzgerald, allotted a few spoken lines, fills the screen and sound track with her strong mobile features and voice." Fitzgerald's race precluded major big-screen success. After Pete Kelly's Blues, she appeared in sporadic movie cameos, in St. Louis Blues (1958), and Let No Man Write My Epitaph (1960). Much later, she appeared in the 1980s television drama The White Shadow.
She made numerous guest appearances on television shows, singing on The Frank Sinatra Show, The Andy Williams Show, The Pat Boone Chevy Showroom, and alongside other greats Nat King Cole, Dean Martin, Mel Tormé, and many others. Perhaps her most unusual and intriguing performance was of the 'Three Little Maids' song from Gilbert and Sullivan's comic operetta The Mikado alongside Joan Sutherland and Dinah Shore on Shore's weekly variety series in 1963. A performance at "Ronnie Scott's" jazz club in London was filmed and shown on the BBC. Fitzgerald also made a one-off appearance alongside Sarah Vaughan and Pearl Bailey on a 1979 television special honoring Bailey. In 1980, she performed a medley of standards in a duet with Karen Carpenter on the Carpenters' television program, Music, Music, Music.
Fitzgerald also appeared in TV commercials, her most memorable being an ad for Memorex. In the commercials, she sang a note that shattered a glass while being recorded on a Memorex cassette tape. The tape was played back and the recording also broke the glass, asking "Is it live, or is it Memorex?" She also starred in a number of commercials for Kentucky Fried Chicken, singing and scatting to the fast-food chain's longtime slogan, "We do chicken right!"

Creating Waves of Awareness
" The high and only mission of the physician is to restore the sick to
health to cure as it is termed"
The very first aphorism of Organon says it all. To achieve this Hahnemann
advised us to be skillful in three basic spheres -
# The knowledge of diseases.
# The knowledge of drugs.
# The knowledge of application of drug knowledge to disease knowledge.
If we give a bird's eye view towards Homoeopathy since it's beginning upto modern ages, we can see there are various types of prescriptions with different angles of thoughts to achieve the desired similimum. The most interesting fact is that almost all these types achieve successes and that too through the hands of great stalwarts!
There are several methods to make a homoeopathic prescription. Some of them are:
All the symptoms of the patient are taken into consideration. But greater stress is given upon the individualistic symptoms. The symptoms are evaluated and
arranged to get a portrait simulating Materia Medica. If matching occurs the very medicine is selected as similimum. Sometime, the physician has to take the help of repertory and calculatemathematically the most matching medicines and finally the similimum is confirmed by the study of Materia Medica.
Particulars to Generals
This is the innovation of Boenninghausen. Here, all the particular symptoms are considered as general symptoms and they are to be arranged as a 'Complete
symptoms' through the doctrine of analogy.
Generals to particulars
After proper homoeopathic case taking the characteristic symptoms of the case are to be evaluated in the Kentian way, i.e.
– Mentals ;
- Physical generals ;
- Characteristic particulars ;
- Common symptoms.
Some authorities demand that in the background of every case there is some miasm, and so if anti miasmatic medicines are applied, they will be cured.
Here, the physician depends mainly upon the general make up of the patient along with his susceptibility, diathesis and temperament. Drs. Gravougl, Clarke,
Burnett used this method often.
Here, the prescriber picks up one or few more striking, singular, uncommon, peculiar, characteristic symptoms and base their prescriptions upon them only.
Drs. Lippe, Guernsey, Allen, Nash used to prescribe in this way.
Here, the pathogenesity of the medicine on a particular part or organ of the body are considered to make the basis of prescription. Drs. Burnett, Hughes, O.Lesser, etc. used to prescribe in this way.
After a thorough case taking, the actual cause is searched for and the prescription is mainly based on those causative factors. Dr.Boger was a pioneer in estabishing the causation as very important parameter.
Different medicines become well indicated in the diseases appearing in different seasons.
Rainy season…………….Rhus Tox., Dulc., Nat.Sulph.
Winter…………………...Acon., Bryonia, Gels.
Summer………………….Ant.Crud., Glon., Nat.Mur.
These medicines do promptly act but especially if the case be an acute one.
During drug proving the serial appearance of the symptoms in the provers are judged and in any case if such sequence be observed, the prescriptions by its
similarity produce marvelous results.
A process of treatment with nosodes, not depending upon the symptoms but depending upon the material cause of the disease.
Various other non-conventional (and non-recommendable) methods
a. Poly prescriptions
b. Mixtures
c. Group medicines
d. Specifics, Tonics, Injections, etc.
