XPS 20,000 Watt Fan Attention XPS
"The interest in 20Kw systems declined."
"My current setup with the new airframe is 18S and about 15000 watts."
Jim, I started this thread becacuse I didn't want to clog up the Habu thread and saw your posts there, but have some questions about this.
I'm still here.
I don't understand how you get 20 kW out of this setup though. I was sifting through the XPS threads and the I cant even find one on the fan. Your website does not have the fan listed either so I'm not sure on the details. If your running at 18S and getting 15 kW how do you get this to 20? I remember a discussion about the RPM limitations on the speed controller being a limiting factor at 38,000 rpm. I thought the motor KV was 650.
It seems the threads on this fan have vanished, I would have posted there.
I have yet to plug this in but I do have some 24 cell 300 amp controllers that I would hope get me close. Can you connect the dots for me? Id like to push this to 20,000 watts or close to it.
Unfortunately there's of noise in it, as well as good information.

I'm looking for information on running this with the higher cell counts. I think XPS sold this 20kW system but seemed to miss the issue of having a speed controller for it. Aside from Jim running on 15 cells I think the only other one was Joe - MCS guy, but he did not seem to get the advertised performance, and think he got rid of his. I remember he tried 16 cells.
Id like to hear about the 18 cell setup.

There are several controllers available - in fact, you have one - the 24S controller. There were numerous 15S setups flown by our customers and a few 16S setups. As far as I know, I am the only person to run a 18S setup. The fan is simply too small for many applications that are requiring a lot of thrust. A 8" fan generates 40 pounds of thrust at just 18,800 RPMs and uses less than 1/2 the power that the 5" fan needs to generate 30 pounds of thrust.

It's 18S using a very modified 24S controller. It's design to run for about 20 seconds at full throttle before you shut if off and coast around. I built this strictly for the Guinness record setting event. I will probably fly this once and then retire it in favor of the larger airframe with bigger fan that can generate huge amounts of thrust with very little power (by comparison). I have learned a lot about size vs. performance. Look at the size of the turbofans on a 747. Look at the size of a fan in our jets. There is a reason why 747's don't have tiny little high RPM fans, and since we are not burning fuel to help provide thrust like warbird jets, we are in fact stuck using nothing more than an air pump. It's all about getting as much air as possible through the fan, as fast as possible. Volume produces thrust, efflux produces speed. Even a 6" fan is way better than a 5" fan, but the 8" fan is perfect because it fits pretty easily in most of the bigger turbine setups that would be using 160-200N turbines and gives you the same thrust.
Have you looked at the Ailen Power thread. They have some very powerful esc. Biggest is 24s 450a, what's that, almost 40kw. Lots of smaller ones too.

Holy Smoke that's a big one!
And this is what worries me (SMOKE). Having a career in the industrial electrical field this sort of power in such a compact package really scares the hell out of me. 450 Amps would certainly provide some head room over what I thought my 300 amp controller would do.
I like the mention of the 8" fan Jim brought up. I haven't been able to focus much on the hobby for some time but I have a week off work coming up from some surgery and may get a chance to build my electrical buss to plug all the batteries together and finally run this thing. rvincent said he would help me with this when I get it all plugged in.
I also have a couple of Knife Liddles 4" Turbax setup I'm making, some full size Turbax, and a 120mm Change Sun 12 blade I'm messing with. I also picked up a couple Dynamax Fans I need to get some adapters for. These all have standoffs for outrunners and I'm trying to remember how to run a lathe to make these.
Hey Jim any idea when we can get hold of one of these 8" fans?

I purchased a 58 plasma samsung tv in jan 29, 2010. Four months later it sits with a broken screen not caused by physical damage. Had a technician come out and look and he agreed, but the because the motherboard showed no external signs of burning he could not fix it under warranty. He was aware of this problem and said that samsung would have to give authority to fix it. I have contacted the company I bought the tv from and they are looking into the problem as well. I have a work order number 4006758373. I just want this tv fixed. I have spoken to a lawyer and was informed that there is currently a class action lawsuit that has been filed with samsung on this problem. I amm very interested in more info on this but really dont want to go this route. I would like my tv fixed. Also, I am planning on contacting the better business bureau on this problem too. If anyone can give me any advice or ideas please let me know. I am very frustrated with this situation

(SAN FRANCISCO, CA) -- Sex.com and Godado.it, the first web company to introduce the PPC (pay per click) and PPR (pay per rank) advertising model in the European market, has recently closed a strategic partnership deal.
In an attempt to create a search engine dedicated to adult search results, Godado launched GodadoEros.com in the Italian market more than three years ago. In doing so, the numerous web surfers interested in the adult sector would have access to targeted web pages for their needs. At the same time, surfers not interested in adult related results have the non-adult search engine at their disposal. Both adult and non-adult are distinctly separate areas, ensuring the safety of children who are risk-free from viewing a pop-up, a banner or a text link related to the adult area.
Thanks to a complete list of Italian and English erotic terms, Godado also introduced a filter that is capable of blocking adult results by the use of a password. Additionally, Godado introduced an anti-child porn filter, which blocks ambiguous search results, whether directly or indirectly related to paedophilia or child pornography (videos, images and words too).
Sex.com represents one of the biggest international players in adult search engine advertising. Godado chose to partner with Sex.com not only because of the importance of their brand and targeted results, but also because they share the same philosophy about adult advertising - fighting all illegal pornography, child pornography, bestiality, unlicensed content, actual violence against women and other illegal or immoral acts - as well as Godado.
On each of GodadoEros.com's results pages, there will be five Sex.com adult results in a specific area at the bottom of the page. All Sex.com results are checked for illegal content using their strict code of ethics developed in conjunction with Adult Sites Against Child Pornography (ASACP.org).
"We're very proud to work with Grant Media, LLC," said Federico Riva, strategist of Godado.it. "Sex.com is a great example of a very professional sex site that offers legal content worldwide. Eroticism represents a very important part of surfers' needs and desires, and it does not make sense to ignore this market. And the best way to deal with adult search queries is to offer results that are as clean as possible. Our battle against paedophilia is, without a doubt, the major reason we've made this deal with Sex.com, hoping that it will force other important web sites and search engines to share the same logic. The partnership with Sex.com is the natural evolution of our strategy - an openness to partner with those who offer an excellent service from a very moral perspective."
Gary Kremen, CEO of Grant Media LLC, said: "Sex.com is happy to be both a founding member and board member of Adult Sites Against Child Pornography. Child pornography is one of the world's major problems. And we are very pleased to be working with Godado.it to curb this problem. Both of our companies, as well as our surfers, will benefit from our child pornography-free adult search listings."
This partnership is possibly the first step toward deeper collaboration.
About Sex.com

In Reply: As we noted, we stopped our study
after enrollment of 50% of the planned sample size because there was a negligible
likelihood of showing a benefit to weekly courses of corticosteroids in our
sample. Based on our findings after evaluation of 308 women (relative risk
[RR], 0.98; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.67-1.44) and also 502 women (RR,
0.80; 95% CI, 0.59-1.10), there was only a 7% probability that we would observe
a significant difference in composite morbidity rates, if we recruited our
planned sample size. We do not agree with Dr Jenkins and colleagues that our
event rates were changing dramatically over time or that our assumptions in
performing our conditional power analysis were false. Our trend analysis,
based on cohorts of 100 patients each, is presented in Table 1. No clear pattern emerged. Jenkins et al emphasize the uncertainty
surrounding the use of inferential statistics in a population sample. However,
with a larger sample, preliminary trends suggesting a benefit might have been
reversed. We agree that our decision to prematurely terminate the study resulted
in decreased statistical power to determine the effect of weekly courses.

Tauraroa Direct Start
- Height: 25m
- Description:© (kieranl)
A logical but not very appealing start.
- Ethic: inherited from Arapiles
Mount Arapiles is first and foremost a trad climbing area. The few sport climbs tend to be in the higher grades where no natural pro is available.
Bolting, particularly retro-bolting, is discouraged and should only be undertaken after extensive consultation with the local climbers, first ascensionists, etc. Inappropriately placed bolts have been chopped.
Do not chip the rock.
Look after the park.
Stick to the paths.
Don't disturb the wildlife.
Routes near peregrine falcon nesting sites are closed in the spring.
Minimise the impact of your camping (fuel stoves not fires, take your rubbish with you, etc).

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - Walt Disney World says the first wing of a new resort hotel dedicated to the art of animation will open in May 2012.
Disney's Art of Animation Resort will have about 2,000 rooms, a little more than half of them family sized suites that will sleep as many as six people. It's a significant expansion into "family suites" for Disney, which currently has only about 215 such rooms on its property.
Disney says demand for affordable suites has grown in recent years as more tourists travel with extended family.
The first phase of Art of Animation to open will be a "Finding Nemo"-themed wing of suites in May 2012. The rest of hotel, which will employ about 800, is scheduled to be open by the end of 2012.

On July 1, 2007, Sunshine Savings Bank converted its charter from a state-chartered credit union to a federally-chartered savings bank. On that date the name was changed from Sunshine State Credit Union to Sunshine Savings Bank, and we became a taxable organization. In January 2009, we reorganized into a mutual holding company structure, with Sunshine Savings Bank as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sunshine Financial, Inc., a federal corporation ("Old Sunshine"), which was the wholly-owned subsidiary of Sunshine Savings MHC (the "MHC"). On April 5, 2011, in accordance with a Plan of Conversion and Reorganization (the "Plan") adopted by its Board of Directors and approved by its members, we converted from a mutual to a stock holding company form of organization, with the MHC and Old Sunshine being merged into a new holding company, Sunshine Financial, Inc. ("Sunshine Financial" or the "Holding Company"), and the Bank becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Holding Company. See Notes 1 and 14 to the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. References to we, us and our throughout this document refer to Sunshine Financial and Sunshine Savings Bank, as the context requires.
We currently operate out of four full-service branch offices serving the Tallahassee, Florida metropolitan area. Our principal business consists of attracting retail deposits from the general public and investing those funds in loans secured by first and second mortgages on one- to four-family residences, home equity loans and lines of credit, lot loans, and direct automobile, credit card and other consumer loans.
We offer a variety of deposit accounts, which are our primary source of funding for our lending activities.
The Bank is significantly affected by prevailing economic conditions as well as government policies and regulations concerning, among other things, monetary and fiscal affairs, housing and financial institutions. Deposit flows are influenced by a number of factors, including interest rates paid on competing time deposits, other investments, account maturities, and the overall level of personal income and savings. Lending activities are influenced by the demand for funds, the number and quality of lenders, and regional economic cycles. Sources of funds for lending activities of the Bank include primarily deposits, borrowings, payments on loans and income provided from operations.
Our primary source of pre-tax income is net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between interest income, which is the income that we earn on our loans and investments, and interest expense, which is the interest that we pay on our deposits and borrowings. Changes in levels of interest rates affect our net interest income. A secondary source of income is noninterest income, which includes revenue we receive from providing products and services. Our noninterest expense has typically exceeded our net interest income and we have relied primarily upon noninterest income to supplement our net interest income and to achieve earnings.
Our operating expenses consist primarily of salaries and employee benefits, general and administrative, occupancy and equipment, data processing services, professional services and marketing expenses. Salaries and benefits consist primarily of the salaries and wages paid to our employees, payroll taxes, expenses for retirement and other employee benefits. Occupancy and equipment expenses, which are the fixed and variable costs of building and equipment, consist primarily of lease payments, taxes, depreciation charges, maintenance and costs of utilities.
Critical Accounting Policies
Certain of our accounting policies are important to the portrayal of our financial condition, since they require management to make difficult, complex or subjective judgments, some of which may relate to matters that are inherently uncertain. Estimates associated with these policies are susceptible to material changes as a result of changes in facts and circumstances. Facts and circumstances which could affect these judgments include, but are not limited to, changes in interest rates, changes in the performance of the economy and changes in the financial condition of borrowers. Management believes that its critical accounting policies include, determining the allowance for loan losses, valuation of foreclosed assets and accounting for deferred income taxes.
Foreclosed Assets. Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are held for sale and are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. After foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and the assets are carried at the lower of the new cost basis or fair value less costs to sell. Revenue and expenses from operations are included in the consolidated statements of operations.
Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to operations. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. There were no changes in the Bank's accounting policies or methodology during the period ended September 30, 2012.
The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management's periodic review of the collectability of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.
The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as impaired. For such loans, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows, collateral value or observable market price of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers all other loans and is based on historical industry loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors.
The historical loss component of the allowance is determined by losses recognized by portfolio segment over the preceding year. This is supplemented by the risks for each portfolio segment. Risk factors impacting loans in each of the portfolio segments include changes in property values, changes in consumer and business spending and changes in credit availability. The historical experience is adjusted for qualitative factors such as economic conditions and other trends or uncertainties that could affect management's estimate of probable losses.
A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower's prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, the loan's obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral-dependent.
Deferred Tax Assets. Income taxes are reflected in our financial statements to show the tax effects of the operations and transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently payable plus deferred taxes. Generally accepted accounting principles require the asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for deferred income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities result from differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. They are reflected at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be realized or settled and are determined using the assets and liability method of accounting. The deferred income provision represents the difference between net deferred tax asset/liability at the beginning and end of the reported period. In formulating our deferred tax asset, we are required to estimate our income and taxes in the jurisdiction in which we operate. This process involves estimating our actual current tax exposure for the reported period together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items, such as depreciation and the provision for loan losses, for tax and financial reporting purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax amounts for the temporary differences between carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities, computed using enacted tax rates. The realization of deferred tax assets is dependent on results of future operations. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011
General. Total assets increased $1.1 million, or 0.7%, to $146.8 million at September 30, 2012 from $145.7 million at December 31, 2011. The increase in total assets was due primarily to increases in federal funds sold and securities held to maturity offset by decreases in loans and interest-bearing deposits with banks. Our federal funds sold increased $8.3 million, securities held to maturity increased $5.6 million, loans decreased $10.2 million, and interest bearing deposits with banks decreased $3.4 million since December 31, 2011.
Loans. Our net loan portfolio decreased $10.2 million, or 10.0%, to $91.8 million at September 30, 2012 from $102.0 million at December 31, 2011. Real estate mortgage loans decreased $5.8 million while consumer loans decreased $3.2 million. The decrease in loans receivable was due primarily to loan amortizations and prepayments exceeding loan originations. The decrease in loan originations was primarily attributable to the weakness in the housing market and the economy. The Bank originates and sells most fixed rate greater than fifteen year residential loans to Freddie Mac in order to generate additional income. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Bank originated and sold $10.2 million in loans to Freddie Mac. In an effort to maintain or increase our loan portfolio and increase interest income, in July 2012 management and the Board approved a program of keeping in portfolio, fifteen year single family mortgage loans that meet certain interest rate parameters and would qualify for sale to Freddie Mac. In addition, the Bank has begun a commercial real estate lending program for owner occupied commercial buildings. At September 30, 2012, the Bank originated and kept $663,000 in fifteen year single family mortgage loans and $2.0 million in owner occupied commercial real estate loans.
Allowance for Loan Losses. Our allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2012 was $1.5 million, or 1.66% of net loans receivable, compared to $1.3 million, or 1.30% of net loans receivable, at December 31, 2011. Nonperforming loans decreased to $2.6 million at September 30, 2012 from $4.6 million at December 31, 2011. Nonperforming loans to total loans decreased to 2.72% at September 30, 2012 from 4.47% at December 31, 2011. This decrease in nonperforming loans was primarily due to transferring loans to real estate owned as a result of foreclosure. Loans on nonaccrual which were less than ninety days past due totaled $220,000 at September 30, 2012 compared to $242,000 at December 31, 2011.
As of September 30, 2012 the Bank had fifteen properties in real estate owned with a fair value of $2.2 million and total unpaid principal balances of $4.0 million. In addition, the Bank was in the process of foreclosure on ten properties with a total fair value of $1.2 million and total unpaid principal balances of $2.0 million. However, only three of these foreclosures were filed in 2012.
Deposits. Total deposits increased $1.4 million, or 1.2%, to $120.8 million at September 30, 2012 from $119.4 million at December 31, 2011. This increase was due primarily to increases in money market, savings and noninterest bearing deposits, offset by decreases in time deposits. These increases were primarily matured time deposits moving to liquid deposit accounts in anticipation of higher rates in the future.
Equity. Total equity decreased $612,000 to $24.8 million at September 30, 2012 from $25.4 million at December 31, 2011. This decrease was due to the net loss of $670,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, offset by Employee Stock Ownership Plan share allocation of $58,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, 2012 and 2011
General. Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was $44,000 compared to net earnings of $14,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, resulting in an annualized loss on average assets of (0.12)% for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and annualized income of 0.04% for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The decrease in net earnings was due primarily to a decrease in our net interest income, partially offset by an increase in gains on loan sales to FHLMC.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income decreased $173,000, or 11.4%, to $1,346,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 from $1,519,000 for the same period in 2011, primarily due to the decline in average balance of our loan portfolio, partially offset by our lower cost of deposits. Our interest rate spread decreased to 3.95% for the three months ended September 30, 2012 from 4.16% for the same period in 2011, while our net interest margin decreased to 4.08% from 4.39%. The ratio of average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities for the three months ended September 30, 2012 decreased to 1.34x, from 1.39x for the three months ended September 30, 2011.
Interest Income. Interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2012 decreased $251,000, or 14.5%, to $1,474,000 from $1,725,000 for the same period ended September 30, 2011. The decrease in interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was primarily due to lower average balances of loans receivable. Average interest-earning loans decreased to $93.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $109.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. In addition, the average yield on average interest earning assets decreased 52 basis points to 4.47% from 4.99% due to a shift in portfolio balance.

The minutes will include a record of the members present at the meeting and the result of each vote.

Voting Procedures. Votes shall ordinarily be taken and tabulated by a show of hands.

The Executive Secretary will supervise the staff in this function pursuant to the direction of the Chairperson and Board.

Article VIII. Procedure for Handling Congressional Requests to Declassify Certain Records Specific Records and Making Recommendations to the President[edit]
This Article sets forth the procedures for considering a proper request under the Act from a committee of jurisdiction in the Congress for the Board to make a recommendation to the President regarding the declassification of certain records. Narrowing of Requests. To expedite the resolution of requests, and under the direction of the Chair, the Executive Secretary is authorized to consult with the requesting committee in order to narrow or prioritize the scope of the request. Standards for decision. A recommendation to declassify a record in whole or in part requires a determination by the Board, after careful consideration of the views of the original classifying authority, that declassification is in the public interest. A decision to recommend declassification in whole or in part requires the affirmative vote of a majority of a quorum of the Board, and of no less than four members of the Board, and the vote of each member present shall be recorded. Resolution of Requests. The Board may recommend that the President: (1) take no action pursuant to the request; (2) declassify the record(s) in whole or in part, pursuant to action taken in accordance with paragraph C; or (3) remand the matter to the agency responsible for the record(s) for further consideration and a timely response to the Board. Notification. The Chair shall promptly convey to the President, through the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs and to the agency head responsible for the record(s), the Board's recommendation, including a written justification for its recommendation. The approval and amendment of these bylaws shall require the affirmative vote of at least five of the Board 's members. The Executive Secretary shall submit the approved bylaws and their amendments for publication in the Federal Register. Protection of Classified Information. Any classified information contained in the request file shall be handled and protected in accordance with the Order and its implementing directives. Information that is subject to a request for declassification under this section shall remain classified unless and until a final decision is made by the President or by the agency head responsible for the record(s) to declassify it. In all cases, the decision to declassify information rests solely with the President or agency responsible for the records. Decisions to release declassified information similarly rest with the responsible agency rather than the Board. The Executive Secretary shall refer all access demands to the responsible agency. Maintenance of File. The Executive Secretary shall maintain the request file among the records of the Board. Article IX. Annual Reports to Congress
As provided in section 706(e) of the Act, pertinent information and data about the activities of the Board shall be included in the report to the appropriate congressional committees. The Chairperson, in coordination with the other members of the Board and the Executive Secretary, shall determine what information and data to include in each Report.
Article X. Approval, Amendment, and Publication of Bylaws[edit]
The approval and amendment of these bylaws shall require the affirmative vote of at least five of the Board 's members. The Executive Secretary shall submit the approved bylaws and their amendments for publication in the Federal Register.
Declassification Policy Forum[edit]
On May 27, 2009, President Barack Obama signed a presidential memorandum ordering the review of Executive Order 12958, as amended "Classified National Security Information." The review of the Order is to be completed within 90 days. On June 2, 2009, the National Security Advisor asked the PIDB to assist in this review by soliciting recommendations for revisions to the Order to ensure adequate public input as the review moves forward.
The PIDB was soliciting recommendations via the Declassification Policy Forum, here.
The four topics of discussion were:
- Declassification Policy
- Creation of a National Declassification Center
- Classification Policy
- Technology Challenges and Opportunities
The Forum had a very productive discussion and received more than 150 thoughtful comments from members of the public. The Public Interest Declassification Board has sent a letter and a summary of the comments to the National Security Advisor.
It ran from June 29 through July 19, 2009.

Celebrity Dads With Big Muscles: How Do They Do It? (Photos)Chris Rogers
It may be part of an actor's job to stay fit, but celebrity dads such as Mark Wahlberg, Hugh Jackman, and Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson go above and beyond when it comes to maintaining a muscular physique.
We've seen it before; most of us have even googled it. Celebrities with big muscles are our guilty pleasure. I'm not afraid to admit it. But I often ask myself: How do they do it?
Sure, we can stare at their chiseled bodies, big biceps, and protruding pectorals, but there's a lot more to it then a few pushups and arm curls.
While we've provided you with a slideshow of the hottest celebrity dads, we have also included specific fitness plans that work best for these celebrity dads. Take a look below and find out just how hard these A-list stars really work! (And we won't blame you if you just choose to look at the photos.)
Mark Wahlberg 1 of 10Marky Mark has always had our attention. Now, as a father and grown actor, he needs to push even harder to keep his body in shape. And we are big fans! Mark Wahlberg's Fitness Plan
Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson 2 of 10Dwayne Johnson first became infamous for his WWF gig. Now, as a respectably actor, 'The Rock' has maintained his chiseled physique. Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson's Fitness Plan
Mario Lopez 3 of 10Ever since his days on 'Saved by the Bell,' Mario Lopez has had one heck of a body. And now we know how he got it! Mario Lopez's Fitness Plan
Ryan Phillippe 4 of 10Ryan seems to use fitness as a way to keep himself busy when not filming a new movie. And his body shows for it! Ryan Phillippe's Fitness Plan
Hugh Jackman 5 of 10Hugh Jackman is one of best looking men in Hollywood. Wonder how he maintains such a good physique? Hugh Jackman's Fitness Plan
Matthew McConaughey 6 of 10Matthew McConaughey practically lives on the beach. That may be why his body is so perfect. Matthew McConaughey's Fitness Plan
David Beckham 7 of 10People may assume that David's body looks this good due to his soccer skills, but there's more to it. David Beckham's Fitness Plan
Matt Damon 8 of 10Matt Damon has built his body for roles such as Jason Bourne, and here's how he did it!Matt Damon's Fitness Plan
Will Smith 9 of 10What a hunk! Will Smith, at 43, still has one of the best bodies in Hollywood. Will Smith's Fitness Plan

The 38-Year Old Kerry Collins is Under Center in Indianapolis
For his career, Colts QB Kerry Collins has only managed to get a rating of over 80 three times in a season.
Although that may seem somewhat decent, Collins has been in the NFL since 1995.
I was eight years old when this man was under center in Carolina, but he has had his fair share of solid moments in pro football.
To begin, he led the Panthers to the NFC Championship game in only his second season, and then took the New York Giants to the Super Bowl in 2000.
Collins was also the man at the helm in Tennessee when the Titans were the AFC's No. 1 seed in 2008 but were upset in the divisional round at home.
So, he has done well, and better than what most people think when they first here the name "Kerry Collins."
However, with all this being said, if he happens to be on your fantasy team, Collins should be on the bench.
Sure, the Colts have a diverse array of targets to which he can throw, but he's only been with Indianapolis since late August, and it takes a lot longer than a few weeks to grasp the Indy offense.
In addition to that, the man is 38-years old, and it's safe to say that he's not Brett Favre.
But, let's say he can still prove those cynical of him wrong this season.
Even so, that's not going to happen against the Houston Texans.
Although Houston had one of the worst pass defenses in 2010, all that is going to change in 2011.
First, they went and drafted DE J.J. Watt from the Wisconsin Badgers, who will significantly improve their pass rush.
Secondly, the Texans acquired DBs Danieal Manning from Chicago and Johnathan Joseph from Cincinnati, both of whom were great pass defenders with their former franchises and will easily make an immediate impact in their new secondary, plus they'll complement one another very well.
Now to make matters even more against Collins' favor, the Colts have a history of dealing with injuries to their offense, and in particular, their receiving corps.
Obviously, it's not as serious as it has been in the past, but they're still not 100 percent, and having a new man under center combined with that doesn't help the case.
Later on in the season, Collins may be a viable start, but not in Week 1 against the Texans on the road down to Houston.
Be sure to check out John on Bleacher Report.

It would be awesome if the core devs included a couple of lines in the WP upgrade script, that checks whether Holly Dolly is present in the plugins directory or not.
I've nothing against Hello Dolly being bundled in WP in the first install, but its really annoying when you repeatedly delete it, but hopelessly see it putting itself back during the upgrades.
I could have left it sleep (inactive) in the plugins folder, but I've lots of clients who have localized WordPress installations. They're from different cultures and Hello Dolly seems nonsense to exist on their site.

History Star Wars Turns 30, Begins Mid-life Crisis
posted by May 25 at 12:52 PMon
Bradley Steinbacher just asked me if I was "a Star Wars nerd." I prefer the term aficionado. As such, it is my duty to inform/remind you that thirty years ago today, Star Wars was released in theaters in all of its digitally unmolested glory.
Since that fateful day in 1977, Star Wars has become a cultural phenomenon. Jedi was included as a religion on the 2001 UK census form, Reagan's crazy space laser program shared a name with the series and uh, Ghyslain Raza got super famous on the internet with his wicked lightsaber skills:
Despite the undeniable cultural impact of the series, no one in our office would admit to loving Star Wars. Stranger film editor Annie Wagner says she is "totally indifferent to Star Wars" and Josh Feit was only able to confirm that "he saw it" on its initial release but threatened to kill me if I revealed his age at the time. By my calculations, he was 55.
Finally, enjoy this vintage Nightline clip where film critic John Simon outs himself as the world's biggest asshole:
I'll be watching SW while doing bong rips and making Wookie noises at my cats all weekend. Feel free to stop by.

As Sandy taunted one last time, Lucy slowly bent down to grasp the metal pipe that had been part of the terrors earlier. To Sandys realizations, Lucy wasn't going to kill her; she was going to suffer just as she did to mike. Before she could run, Lucy shot her kneecap, forcing her to an agonizing crawl. Lucy quickly caught up with the murderer, and with a loud clunk Sandy was unconscious. Lucy began to play.

I like this a lot Good job, looks nice
