Update: ATP Cincinnati0 comments Posted by Just Tennis at 6:41 PM
Marat Safin was defeated in the first round 6-7 4-6. Safin disputed numerous calls, had several long talks with the umpire and threw his racket in disgust near the base of the umpire's chair after going down 5-4 in the final set, a service break that also seemed to break his spirit.

WASHINGTON, June 21 (UPI) -- The U.S. Supreme Court ruled unanimously but narrowly Monday to set aside three violations incurred by ABC and Fox for "indecency."
The majority opinion by Justice Anthony Kennedy said the Federal Communications Commission "failed to give Fox or ABC fair notice prior to the broadcasts in question that fleeting expletives and momentary nudity could be found actionably indecent.
"Therefore, the commission's standards as applied to these broadcasts were vague, and the commission's orders must be set aside," the court said.
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg filed an opinion concurring in the judgment but distancing herself from Kennedy's reasoning. She said the court's main precedent on the issue, 1978's FCC vs. Pacifica should be given another look.
Justice Sonia Sotomayor took no part in the case, but did not explain. Justices sometimes withdraw from cases when they have stock in a company involved.
Kennedy said even after Pacifica, the FCC continued to note the important difference between isolated and repeated broadcasts of indecent material, and in a 2001 policy statement, said one of the factors in determining what is patently offensive -- "whether the material dwells on or repeats at length" the offending description or depiction.
Two of the violations set aside Monday deal with obscene words during two live broadcasts aired by Fox Television Stations Inc. The third occurred during an episode of a television show broadcast by the ABC Television Network when the nude buttocks of an adult female character in "NYPD Blue" were shown for approximately seven seconds and the side of her breast for a moment.
In December 2002, Fox broadcast the Billboard Music Awards beginning at 8 p.m. EST. Cher received an "Artist Achievement Award," and used the F-word in her acceptance speech. A year later, Fox again broadcast the Billboard Music Awards. In an exchange between reality celebrities Nicole Richie and Paris Hilton, Richie used both the S-word and the F-word.

Brazil Beyond Compare
Brazil is an exercise in superlatives: fifth-largest country in the world, occupying nearly half of the continent of South America; home of Carnaval, the world's biggest street party; winner of the most World Cup soccer championships; home of the world's largest rainforest; and home of the Amazon, the world's largest river in both volume and length. It even has the biggest cashew tree on the face of the planet, according to The Guinness Book of World Records. The country started with a healthy intermingling of African, Portuguese, and indigenous peoples and cultures, later adding other European immigrants such as the Italians in the south and the Dutch in the north, all of which give Brazil an impressive diversity of cultural life, music, and arts, not to mention culinary traditions and religious practices. São Paulo, the largest city in Brazil, is a thrilling urban center, drawing national and international commerce and tourism. Brasilia, the capital of Brazil, was designed in the shape of an airplane by the architects Oscar Niemeyer, Lúcio Costa, and Israel Pinheiro. Brazil considers itself the country of the future, but Brazilians joke that that future never seems to arrive. Distressingly, Brazil's excess extends to the misery as well, with Brazil ranking high in income inequality. From the lush Atlantic rainforests to the semi-arid sertão to the Pantanal wetlands teeming with animal life, Brazil also boasts an uncanny diversity of geographic climes. National transportation by bus is excellent; plane travel is generally more expensive.

Counterface design
The service life and performance of a seal are largely influenced by:
- shaft material and hardness
- shaft surface finish and tolerance grade
- dynamic runout and shaft-to-bore misalignment
A shaft surface that is too smooth can lead to lubricant starvation, while a shaft surface that is too rough can accelerate sealing lip wear. The shaft surface should be machined without directionality as directionality can cause leakage depending on the direction of rotation. Dynamic runout and shaft-to-bore misalignment cause an uneven radial load on the circumference of the sealing lip. As a result, the sealing lip, particularly at high speeds, will not be able to follow the shaft. This, in turn, will result in a gap between the sealing lip and the shaft, causing reduced sealing ability.
Unlike radial shaft seals, V-rings and axial clamp seals are not affected by normal coaxiality deviations or runout.

In a Hasidic enclave in Brooklyn, there are seemingly endless services tailored for the community—stores in Yiddish, school buses and even a dedicated EMS. Yet the corps is made up entirely of men, and one group of women wants to change that. On a mission to start the city's first all-female volunteer EMS corps, these women are set on shattering the glass ceiling in the unlikeliest of communities.

Season 29 Episode 7 | 53m 11s
Nikola Tesla's technology revolutionized the electrical age of the 20th century. Although eclipsed in fame by Edison and Marconi, it was Tesla's vision that paved the way for today's wireless world. His fertile but undisciplined imagination was the source of his genius but also his downfall, as the image of Tesla as a "mad scientist" came to overshadow his reputation as a brilliant innovator.

Showhouse Kitchen with Great Use of Texture
Two New York designers create separate spaces that play beautifully side by side
White rift-sawn oak cabinets bleached to the shade of driftwood are a sunny nod to the nearby ocean and vacation setting of the Hampton Designer Showhouse. They also speak volumes to the fresh mix designer Robert Bakes brings to his projects. Rather than install an all-white kitchen (nearly ubiquitous in new homes in the Hamptons), the designer warmed the space with a mix of white-painted and bleached-wood finishes. "When oak is bleached and stained, it takes the heavy orange color out and translates into a softly textured surface, appropriate to the ocean setting," Bakes says. "And rift oak with its linear grain injects texture and a slightly more modern feel. I like to mix things up."
Textures and colors are repeated throughout the room to create balance and symmetry—signature elements of Bakes's design. Twin refrigerator doors equipped with chunky vintage-inspired latches and freezer drawers below flank a built-in microwave oven and a warming drawer. On the opposite wall is a bowed vent hood that Bakes designed with a bleached oak veneer and polished-nickel bands and rivets.
Twin Sub-Zero refrigerators with freezer drawers below are concealed behind oak doors. Wine is stored in the island on pullout racks.

Vintage-Style Latches
Hefty polished-nickel latches on the oak-paneled refrigerator doors are reminiscent of handles on old-fashioned iceboxes.
Suave Seating + Cool Quartzite
While the range and hood are a visual focal point, they don't dominate the room. "I avoid having one thing that overwhelms the rest of the design. Everything should flow and balance—there shouldn't be one thing that jumps out and grabs your eye," Bakes explains.
The range is centered on the island, which is topped with a slab of quartzite with strongly linear gray-toned veining. The quartzite is repeated on the range backsplash, where the veining runs vertically.
Cabinets painted Benjamin Moore white are combined with bleached-wood cabinets for an update on tradition. Birch "Constance" stools from Ballard Designs provide comfortable counter seating in a hub-of-the-house kitchen.

Mood Lighting
Twin polished-nickel "Gresham Park" fixtures from Hudson Valley provide task lighting and can be dimmed for intimate dining.
Classic White
Bumping out the "Pure White" Caesarstone countertop on each side of the sink varies counter depth and adds visual interest to the space.
Linear Veining
White Macaubas quartzite from AKDO covers the island and range backsplash. The stone is stain-resistant like granite but looks like marble.
Dressy Dots
Triangular marble tiles on the countertop backsplash—arranged in a diamond pattern and punctuated with polished nickel dots—add a hint of sparkle and play well with the classic white quartz surfacing on the perimeter counters. "It's nice to have that clean palette that brings everything together," Bakes says. "My concept was to create a kitchen that warmly envelops and gives a feeling of comfort and safeness to those in the space," he adds. That concept was continued in the adjoining keeping room designed by Patricia Fisher.
Keeping Room
"When Bob and I showed each other our palettes, we were pleased to see they were so compatible and harmonious," Fisher says. Her serene gray-and-cream palette with chartreuse accents blended beautifully with Bakes's kitchen scheme, and didn't compete with the house's fabulous garden and swimming pool views. Bakes was so taken with Fisher's wallcovering choice—a subtle metallic-weave grass cloth—that he continued it into one area of the kitchen. In Fisher's spaces, the wallcovering creates a pretty backdrop for the furnishings, which are more about silhouettes and textures than pattern. "There is some pattern on the rug and window treatments, but I really didn't want to bog the design down with florals or checks. I wanted each element to pop and have breathing space," Fisher says.
In the sitting area, Fisher partnered mid-20th-century bent-arm chairs with 21st-century tailored settees and a sofa. A custom-made rug in shades of gray and cream that was inspired by a tribal blanket from India grounds the sitting area in comfort. A grass-cloth wallcovering by Phillip Jeffries is highlighted with metallic flecks in the weave, creating a slightly shimmering backdrop. A graphite and pencil drawing by Christine Hiebert hangs above the mantel. "Art adds a whole different element to a room—texture, color, and personality," says Fisher.

Cozy Dining Area
A window-lined bay was the natural place for a casual dining area, and Fisher chose a table with a sturdy pedestal base and rough-hewn finish that complements the driftwood cabinets in the kitchen. Vintage spool-turned dining chairs encircle the table, which is illuminated by a modernist orb chandelier. "When I first lifted the chandelier out of the box, I sort of gasped," Fisher says. "It's big, but it's so open that it's perfect there. It really creates a distinctive statement in that room." The extra-large "Orb" from Ballard Designs fills the space above the table, but its open design doesn't block window views or sunlight.
Tall windows are dressed with a gray-striped Pindler & Pindler fabric Fisher turned on its side that "brings a bold element into that space." Combined with sheer cafe curtains, the window treatments cozy the nook and provide a sense of privacy without blocking views or natural light. A vacation home requires plenty of flexible seating, and a shapely ceramic stool pulled up by the table is easy to move, doubling as an end table when needed.

Game Table
Tall bookshelves and a two-tiered coffee table ensure there is plenty of space for books and games—always in demand at a vacation home. A square two-tiered coffee table provides spaces to store and play games. Painted in a gray lacquer, the table is also durable enough to serve as a footrest. "This space is for relaxing—for hanging out and dining with friends and family," Fisher says.

The second week of the Cycling BC Junior Warm Weather Camp is underway in Palm Springs, California. The end of the first week saw the arrival of the Men's U17 development squad. Staying for the full two weeks is the core Men's Junior team of six riders. The themes during the first week will carry into the second week, with riders improving their overall fitness and working on technical skills.
Coaches Jeff Ain and Steve Lund have also introduced the "Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory Rider of the Day", rewarding riders with a delicious chocolate medal and flowers. Pictured is Trevor Pearson, the first up the gruelling tram climb.
From the riders:
Henri de Boever (18): "Today was the start of another week of riding in the sun. We will crush some sprint and TTT efforts, and a longer than usual endurance ride. Today's ride saw the mercury rise to 32 degrees. I would like to take this opportunity to our sponsors for their contributions that make this trip possible."
Jordan Duncan (17): "Today's ride was a solid [few] hours in the sun of Palm Springs. I think everyone enjoyed the sights in Joshua Tree National Park, and would like to ride there again. We finished the ride off with a steady paceline for about ten kilometres. I would like to thank all of the sponsors that made this trip possible. It's been great training and living here so far, and I look forward to the coming rides!"
Jackson Pickell (16): "This is my first Cycling BC high performance camp, and it has been great so far on and off the bike. The weather is really nice in Palm Springs, and the riding is awesome. Our coaches Jeff, Steve and Richard have arranged a great camp that is very enjoyable, and I am looking forward to the next six days here. Thank you very much for making this camp happen, I am very appreciative!"
Adam de Vos: "The past three weeks have seen the BC U23 team taking up residence and settling in to our new home in Capitola, California. Now that we have spent some time here, all the guys have been able to get acquainted with the buffet of beautiful loops around the area, as well as take part in a few of the local group rides. Not only has the riding been superb but also the weather as well as the company; many days have been over 20 degrees and only one day of rain. All of the team is grateful to be able to prepare for the 2012 season in a warm Californian climate and even more grateful for the generous support of Cycling BC's sponsors and supporters."
JS: "I'm lucky to have a great bunch of guys down here for this training camp; the team chemistry on and off the bike has been phenomenal. We have been fortunate so far with great weather, which influenced some long epic rides through the hills of Santa Cruz, and some training rides include routes they use for the AMGEN Tour of California."

About this Costume
- Construction Details:
Completed Sept 2011 This costume involved just as much research as it took time and patience to make! Since this is the Odile tutu that Rue/Kraehe wears in one piece of artwork, I decided to make it accurate to the source, the professional stage ballet and Swan Lake. Basically, I wanted to bring Kraehe to life in the role that she was inspired by - Odile. I read up on classical tutus online, as well as invested in a book on their construction and used patterns specifically designed for making one. Sometimes I felt like I was biting off more than I could chew because of the amount of time and skill it takes to make one of these!
Old tutu: The frill tutu is made out of a stiff (and scratchy might I add!) diamond net that is specifically produced for making a Russian classical 'pancake' tutu, the type that sticks straight out that you see in staged ballet productions such as Swan Lake. A total of 90 yards of netting went into the tutu and the tutu 'butt' ruffles - (13 purchased yards, but when cut into vertical strips of varying widths to make up the rows it all ended up at around 90(. The frills are sewn onto a custom-made Powernet panty (also referred to as the lower basque) and is secured in the back with hooks and eyes. The seat of the panty is decorated with frills made out of net, and pleated the same way as the tutu frills but sewn in half to 'fluff up' and then sewn directly to the panty. The actual tutu frills measure approximately 13" long at the longest layer, which is the topmost layer, and there are 9 layers total. The shortest layer on the bottom is only 2 inches wide. 13" is the customary length for Odile and Odette in Swan Lake, as well. Each layer was meticulously hand-pleated - each pleat is 1/4" wide, and are stacked halfway on top of each other, with the exception of the topmost layer which are 1" wide each and double or triple-stacked directly on top of each other. The tutu layers are all 'dagged' (cut into a 'V' shape), which makes the edge of the tutu appear feathered. I was pretty harsh with the dagging to get them as feathery as I could, so they are more feathery than most classical tutus, but it adds an extra something to this costume and besides, it's supposed to be very feathery! :) The tutu is hooped on the seventh row, which helps to keep everything flatter and gives a support, which is necessary considering the amount of beads on the plate. The hooping is double spiral steel boning split down the center to take out one of the spirals, then painted black and slipped into the casing that was sewn to the seventh row before I did any pleating to it. I steamed and tacked the living mercy out of the tutu once it was all assembled. The tacking was all done by hand with an embroidery needle and buttoncraft thread, through the various rows so they would all stick together and flatten the tutu out. It was very tedious work but necessary to achieve the flat, almost paper thin look. The tutu plate is glitter tulle, to give it some added decoration and because I was really inspired by some existing Odile ballet costumes that used this method. It also makes for a very light-weight plate, which means less of a chance of droop now or in the future. The glitter tulle has a green iridescence to it, much like a crow's feathers, so I was also drawn to it for this reason. The golden feathers were first appliqued then completely beaded onto the plate individually by hand. I also beaded with iridescent black beads and sequins for an even more detailed look.
The bodice was made using a fabric called bengaline with a slight sheen to it, this fabric is commonly used for making tutu bodices. It is fully lined with coutil and spiral steel boning was placed into channels sewn into the seam allowances. It closes in the back with hooks and eyes. The placement of the beads was also done keeping authentic tutu costumes in mind, to avoid snagging on anything, beads and other decorations are traditionally only placed on the front. I wanted to get really crazy with it, but I still think it's well-decorated enough as it is. Most of the beading was actually done on a separate overlay of glitter tulle which was then hand-sewn to the bodice - thus, it's removable, like many decorative overlays are on real tutu bodices to make them interchangeable for other productions. I used feather hackles to do the feather accents along the top, and the center "V" overlay is nude fabric. Again, this was a matter of taste and keeping the costume authentic, plunging gaps down the front of a bodice would be asking for a wardrobe malfunction on any dancer.
The basque (also referred to as the upper basque) is made out of the same fabric as the bodice, bengaline, and is the central support of the tutu. It is sewn directly over the lower basque (panty) and features a corded edge to add a nice finish. The lower edge of the bodice is attached to the upper basque on the interior with heavy duty elastics, which allows for a free range of movement without the bodice and basque becoming separated. The basque also attaches in the back with hooks and eyes.
Old shoes: The pointe shoes I used for this costume aren't fully functional pointe shoes that a dancer would use in a stage production, but rather demi-pointe shoes that dancers sometimes wear to get a feel for pointe shoes before they are ready to start using them. They lack the stiff shank strip on the bottom that allows a dancer to go up on her toes, which also makes the shoe more flexible, comfortable, and all around a better choice for me since I have never taken a lesson of dance in my life and pointe shoes on someone who has never worn them before can be dangerous and at the very least extremely painful. I highly recommend demi-pointe to non-trained dancers who want to do Princess Tutu cosplay, they have the same look, minus the pain and danger, plus they are impossible to go en pointe in, so that limits any risk or temptation to try to do so! The tights are white dancers tights, and I also wear toe covers so my toes aren't too irritated by the box on the demi-pointe shoe.
New shoes: In 2014, I chose to get real pointe shoes for my costume. I picked out Sansha Etudes, since I really like the design, know the sizing for the brand, and like the broader box and square platform. The shoes were broken in in advance, I shortened the shank to suit my arch, and bent it to my liking. I softened up the box by hand and broke the shoes in before wearing them around the con. I elected to use elastics along with ribbons for the extra support. I also use lamb's wool toe pads to keep everything nice and comfy. :) It's important to break your shoes in if you intend to use real pointes, otherwise they will be FAR too stiff and uncomfortable and you will be miserable. :/ You don't want that!
The tiara is constructed of hand-strung Swarovski rose montee crystals and the red gems were also added on. They are hand-wired to a custom made frame of sturdier wire.
The feather decoration in the wig is made of rooster feathers - same type as used on the bodice. I chose these feathers for their look, iridescence, and how well they stick up without appearing TOO stiff. I added some sequins to the feathers because I couldn't resist.
All in all this costume was a labor of love that honestly took around 100 hours, maybe more, altogether. I never thought I'd be able to create a classical tutu of my own so I really surprised myself with this one!
- Personal Thoughts:
- Princess Tutu is such a beautiful anime, and I knew before even finishing watching it that Princess Kraehe is a character I MUST cosplay. I relate to her much more-so than Ahiru/Tutu, plus I think the resemblance and character embodiment is more my style. I always loved her Odile tutu, so it wasn't hard to decide which of her many outfits I wanted to make. I also have a love for the arts, and the ballet is no exception. I did a lot of research on the ballet (particularly Swan Lake) and the classical, pancake style of tutu for this costume, because I wanted a blend of creativity, accuracy, and accuracy to the source - ballet. I know I went very detailed on construction, in hopes that I am helping someone who wants to make a classical tutu. Any specific questions please do not hestitate to message me! :) Also, this costume is...not quite done yet.

Stewart needs second surgery; fellow driver tweets he 'saved my life'
- Stewart could be facing at least 3-4 months of recovery after breaking his leg Monday night
- Stewart will stay in the hospital for observation before doctors perform a second surgery
- Max Papis will replace Stewart in the No. 14 Chevrolet at Watkins Glen
Tony Stewart will need a second surgery on his right leg after breaking it in two places Monday night in a sprint car crash in Iowa.
A Stewart-Haas Racing statement said Stewart, who underwent an initial surgery to stabilize and clean the injury, will require a second surgery for the Grade II injury. The broken leg was his only injury from the crash.
Stewart will stay in the hospital for observation.
REACTION:Drivers, analysts on Stewart's crash
"I told someone to go get my phone or else I was going to get up and get it myself," a post on Stewart's Facebook page said. "Finally got reconnected to the world and just want to say thank you for all the prayers and well wishes. My team will remain strong and I will be back."
GLUCK:Moonlighting may have cost Stewart season
During Monday night's race, Stewart's car collided with Josh Higday's and flipped three times before coming to a stop.
Higday, who could not be reached for comment Tuesday, thanked Stewart on Twitter for avoiding his cockpit and wrote the Cup star's last-second turn to the right "saved my life."
Higday's wife, Dawn, indicated on Twitter that her husband believed something broke inside his car, putting it on a different path.
"Just saw the video of the crash last night," Dawn Higday tweeted. "I'm just going to thank God that I still have a husband and hope Tony recovers soon."
Steven Meier, orthopedic surgeon and founder of Meier Orthopedic Sports Medicine of Beverly Hills, Calif., said that Stewart probably suffered an open fracture of both the tibia (the main shin bone) and fibula (the smaller bone) in the lower leg.
"The Grade II designation implies that the soft tissue envelope was breached and the fractured bones were exposed and protruding through the skin," Meier explained to USA TODAY Sports via email.
WATCH: Stewart injured in Monday night crash
Meier, who has not seen nor treated Stewart, said tibia fractures are known to take a long time to heal, "usually 3-4 months just for the bone itself to heal. Then, there is the process of rebuilding muscle strength through rehabilitation.
"However, if the bones are rigidly fixed with a rod, Tony could be getting back into a race car much sooner than that depending on how extensive the soft tissue injury was, whether infection becomes an issue, and how long the soft tissue envelope takes to heal."
Max Papis will fill in for the injured Stewart this weekend at Watkins Glen, SHR announced Tuesday afternoon.
A few hours later, Papis tweeted a get well message and picture to Stewart, saying he will "keep your baby nice and warm."
Papis, who has years of road-racing experience all over the world, will drive the No. 14 Chevrolet in Sunday's NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race. Papis drove Stewart's No. 14 car on July 30 during a team test at Road Atlanta.
Missing the Watkins Glen race means Stewart will snap a streak of 521 starts dating to the 1999 Daytona 500 — his first career Cup race. His streak ranked 10th all time and was third among active drivers behind Jeff Gordon (710) and Jeff Burton (613).
RYAN:NASCAR needs Stewart driving anywhere
Meier explained via email that treatment for the kind of fracture Stewart likely suffered normally requires addressing the soft tissue injury first and then the bone injury.
"If he is undergoing two separate procedures, then most likely the initial procedure was a debridement to clean and stabilize the damaged soft tissues (skin and muscle) to prevent infection ... which is a significant risk for this type of fracture when the bones are exposed. During this initial procedure, an external frame may be applied to the bones via surgical pins to temporarily stabilize the fracture.
The second procedure would then "definitively stabilize the fracture," by inserting a rod along the length of the tibia and locking it into place with screws.
"This method would provide rigid fixation and allow early weight bearing," Meier wrote. "Conceivably, it is possible he could get back behind the wheel before the season ends in November but that will depend on these other variables."
PHOTOS: Stewart crashes in Iowa sprint car race
Stewart's crash Monday was his third in three weeks. He set off a multi-car crash July 16 in upstate New York that sent two drivers to the hospital, then flipped five times while racing on July 29 in Ontario, Canada.
After the flip in Canada, he became irritated with reporters who asked about the incident before Sunday's NASCAR race at Pocono Raceway.
STEWART:Previous sprint car wrecks 'not a big deal'
"When they wreck, they get upside down like that," he said. "That was not a big deal. ... I guarantee you there were 15 to 20 guys across the country that flipped just like that this weekend and were just fine just like we were. If it's bad, we will let you guys know."
Kendra Jacobs, a spokesperson for Stewart's chartiy event "Tony Stewart's Kick-It Cup," said due to his injuries at Oskaloosa that he would not attend Wednesday's scheduled charity karting race in Knoxville, Iowa, with four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon. Stewart will be replaced by Kyle Larson, Jacobs said.
The Tony Stewart Spectacular kart race will pit 68 fans against Gordon and Larson (a rising NASCAR star who is competing in the Knoxville Nationals this week) in a seven-heat race, one-feature format.

Is everyone just ignoring the fact that Traxxas now sells helicopters?
To the men and women of the US military, thank you
They are? What any good?
Slash rocks!!!
There are a few posts floating around... The heli's are on the product page...
Are they good? They are Traxxas....
All Lives Matter
United We Stand, Divided We Fall
Lol but traxxas is cars and boats to me... They are to small for my I fly 450 size helis
Slash rocks!!!
A 450 Traxxas heli would be fantastic!!!
Was an xl-5, now its vxl-ent!
Anyone know how much they are?
$85 ready to fly
To the men and women of the US military, thank you
Rpm might jump on traxxas heli parts. Lol it would crash, bounce up then keep flying
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk 2
cool, i been looking at helis but the 450 size, but know they started yee haa.
Google search trumps Wiki. Refer to user guide.
I'm still amazed by the Traxxas Heli Lifetime Replacement plan. Send a heli in, in any condition and get a new one (less Tx) for half price.
Was an xl-5, now its vxl-ent!
Eh there just walmart helis, with new stickers. Good for beginners... Replacement plan is cool tho... Goblin/SAB needs that lol
Wal-Mart helis? That is a pretty rude statement, lol!! I don't think you can get a 4 channel rc heli from Wally World can you? Not to mention the Traxxas support, or the nice remote that comes with it. This looks more comparable to the Blade helis, but better since the Traxxas name is on it!!!
Was an xl-5, now its vxl-ent!
i want the quad copter. beginner i am, so thanks traxxas.
I'm not krazy. My mother had me tested.
Tower says 69$ So with 20% off I may just bite!!!
Thrash It, Bash it, Break it, No Regrets!!!
Weak Revenge
Strong Forgive
Intelligent Ignore
I just glanced at the price, my lhs called and asked how many I wanted and I laughed. New heli, a quad copter and a rumored 1/5 electric. I'm going to be broke. I still have some lcg for the slash 4x4 to get.
Thrash It, Bash it, Break it, No Regrets!!!
Sorry, maybe a little rude, quadcopter is nice, the other one....Im into rc helis pretty big... More so then cars. A coaxial with a gyro isnt cutting edge, and can be found just about anywhere anymore... Saw some at a local lumber yard the other week. 4 ch. All metal ect. Cheap... Ive had SEVERAL of these helis, they are good beg. helis and will get you hooked for sure but isnt anything like a real heli...
Now the quadcopter is cool, those are catching on big time, and would be the only one id be interested in.
The replacement plan is cool, especially for lazy people... Most times when these type of helis go in, nothing major happens, maybe a blade/grip, lost dogbone links, maybe if you REALLY went in hard a tailboom(never done it to a coaxial...but could happen). Cheap stuff, easy to fix...
Considering these small scaled heli's are just being announced, people are so quick to judge something they don't even have in their hands...
Taxxas doesn't make toys, they make Hobby Grade RTR RC's....
If you want to bash Taxxas products,,, your on the wrong forum....
You know how I got a reputation for knowing what I am talking about? I base my posts and opinions on my first hand knowledge, not an article, not "My buddy has one and_______ "...
The DR-1 has easy and expert modes... That would interest me.... I've had a go with another Heli,,, I was not very good with it, it was a decent model, I was going through rotors and rotor heads left right center...
I like these features for someone like me,,, No, it's not a large scaled heli, but I think for what you pay, you get....
DR-1 Coaxial Dual-Rotor Helicopter Features:
Dual coaxial rotors
Master stable hovering in just seconds
Easy, Normal-Mode flying

United We Stand, Divided We Fall
im both mad and happy. im mad because i just bought one (450 size) and happy because my favorite rc company now sells helis
Where did i say it was a buddy that had one and thats where i got my knowledge?? Im into rc helis like most of you are cars... My cars are the relaxing thing i do, i love flying 3d helicopters, thats my first rc passion...
That coaxial is a dime a dozen... Ive OWNED 5-6 of them. Look around, their all over the place, its really exploded in the last year. It all sounds spiffy on paper, but go look at them, their all the same. All have gyros, aluminum parts ect. Can call it hobby grade if you want due to the support you'll get but thats about it...
And i already agreed the only one thats worth it is the quadcopter, it looks like a mqx which i OWN, and its a blast to fly.
jem450r relax I dont think that part of NitroNaught's comment was aimed directly at you. I think that was more of a general statement that many of us who have been around awhile have seen happen time and time again. These things were just announced NO ONE has them in hand yet so let's wait and see what they are like once they are before we pass judgement on them.

I hope they plan to come out with much bigger sizes! Hopefully before I pick up my Blade 450 I'm saving for!
Thrash It, Bash it, Break it, No Regrets!!!
Amazing step on a market that is already quite filled with very similar products.
Traxxas did a good job when it comes to the looks, but I seriously wonder if this will be a success outside the US, considering the price. The future will tell.
Anyhow: Good luck Traxxas!
Nobody is born with experience
i was thinking about getting my dad a helicopter for xmas, he probably never flew one before, which one do you think would be the best one to get for him?
Jato 3.3
T-Maxx 2.5
I will bet you this really shakes up the market... again. I would pretty much bet money HPI or somebody else is going to hop onboard, by making a bigger heli or something exactly the traxxas one. Of course the real heli guys are going to rage on that nooby controller but props for it being 2.4ghz, also I'm surprised traxxas didn't have the arrogance to come up with a micro traxxas connector, that should be great for dropping in aftermarket lipos. These two as a pair will very clearly define the advantages and disadvantages of quads vs. helis, same brand and same size. Also what a great time for traxxas to throw out a gift that's affordable, not everybody gets an e-revo brushless for christmas.
I like turtles.
This is nuts. Very exciting to see Traxxas move into a new side of RC; I'm sure they'll be fun and well-rounded packages.
the quadrocopter looks good for a beginner, but not sure about the heli, because I got a 21 inch heli with lipos and all for
around $45 from a differnent brand
Ya id go for the quadcopter, leave the coaxial on the shelf... Esp for $100.... Coaxials can be found for much cheaper...
Gentlemen please keep in mind this is the Traxxas forum and talk about other brands of RC vehicles is not allowed. Other brands may be cheaper but they do not offer the same experience or support that Traxxas is well known for.

I heard enough experiences about Traxxas support to know that it's one of the best around, but there is a limit to where it justifies the higher price.
I like Traxxas cars because I don't know of others for similar prices that have a better performance, more durability or just look better.
I hope that Traxxas is able to prove that I am wrong, but I think they will have a very hard time to conquer a place in the European market.

Man I think this is a great idea. I have a $20 cheap and I'd like to try a TRX Heli.

mmentors needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 49 designs submitted by 26 freelance designers.
Need a logo that includes an image congruent with the name of our company, Top Dog Trading. So an image of a dog would be good. However the logo should also reflect the fact that we're involved in the financial markets (stock market).
Top Dog Trading
You can visit our web site at http://www.topdogtrading.com if you'd like. We teach people how to trade stocks, forex, futures, etc. We're open to very literal, or more abstract designs.
- Our color scheme includes green, black, while and yellow.
- Image of a dog, but not just of any dog, but the "top dog."
- Some reference to the financial markets
- Convey success.
- It should not be cutesy or cartoonish. - Needs to have a degree of seriousness because people are making a financial decision with us and we want to be taken seriously.

Mr. Speaker, since Tuesday the military government of Burma has arrested nearly 50 peaceful activists. Among them was Su Su Nway, a dissident and member of the national league for democracy.
Su Su Nway was arrested along with more than 30 other Burmese for peacefully conducting a prayer service to draw attention to the ongoing arbitrary detention of the leader of the national league for democracy, Nobel peace prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi.
I know that every member of this House will join me in saluting the courage of Su Su Nway in her struggle against the totalitarian Burmese regime. Canadians across the country call on the Burmese government to free Su Su Nway as well as all other advocates of freedom who have been unjustly imprisoned by the country's undemocratic military regime.

4G (4th generation) is the latest sensation in the technology industry and it is meant to shake things up for the better. 4G is here and it's hard not to notice the advertising campaign EE has been running to promote their network on 4G.
More than half (56%) of the GB adult population is aware of this technology according to the latest findings from the Ipsos Mori Tech Tracker. The awareness levels are highest among tablet owners at 83%, followed by Smartphone owners at 73%.
In terms of demographics, awareness is highest among young affluent males with over 8 in 10 (82% amongst males 15 to 44 ABC1). With a cracking advertising campaign currently in play, awareness could well continue to rise substantially with the wider population over the coming months.
So, what is 4G? How does it work?
4G's offering brings the user closer to the opportunity of having home broadband capabilities on their mobile, with speeds up to 8x faster than the current 3G network. 41% of the Gb adults population believe their access will be faster compared to current wifi access. The 4G technology offers stronger security and greater efficiency.
With coverage spanning 16 cities, more than 20million people or a third of the UK population already have access to the 4G network; this is set to rise considerably with EE's promise to spend £1.4million a day on their networks. These are all the promises that have been made but the question is whether 4G can live up to expectations.
This increased reach is great news for media owners and advertisers who will have the ability to conduct much more accurate targeting in terms of location and device. This comes coupled with the ability to run more interactive creative in their campaigns because 4G loads in seconds. It's not just business that will benefit, consumers will experience improvements too.
One such area is gaming, with the combination of faster internet speeds and improved devices meaning the gamer should experience enhanced graphics on smaller screens. Social gaming, which has been on the rise in the UK over the last several years, is likely to become the norm.
The introduction of this new service might once again completely change the digital landscape. We are already seeing tablet and Smartphone manufacturers offering large and mini versions of their devices, constantly blurring the definition of each. Also with the combination of internet speed getting faster and devices becoming even more portable, out of home usage will hopefully rise over the following months.
What's interesting is it doesn't look as though there is a huge device war or audience cannibalization at the moment; instead these two devices are likely to work in harmony together, and therefore the need to make connecting and synching of devices as easily as possible, which may become a big driver in consumers purchase decisions. Carphone Warehouse is already on the case, sprinkling some extra cheer over the festive period offering bundled tablet and Smartphone offers on the front of their Christmas brochure.
Current 4G bundles all offer unlimited texts and calls, but the data capacity varies from 500MB for £36 to 8GB for £56. However with a one hour program on BBC iPlayer already exceeding the 500MB of the cheapest 4G bundle if streamed with high quality it makes you wonder whether the full package is quite ready for the demand.
It's also important to ask how much consumers actually know about the most relevant data package and how much they are likely to use; can consumers accurately predict the most appropriate data package for their personal use? The results from the latest Tech Tracker research suggests particular consumer interest in terms of 4G services for music or radio and playing video games on their mobile phone.
Additionally, EE has also introduced data management systems which will text users when they are close to their data limit, hopefully removing any bad surprises when the next bill comes through.
The Tech Tracker also tracks technology ownership and usage among the GB population every quarter and has been doing this for the past 6 years.
- Internet usage: the proportion of GB adults accessing the internet is at 81% with 44% now accessing via a mobile. Social networking is one of the popular activities performed over the internet (46%), but email is still the most popular (75%).
- Connected home: Using the TV to connect to the internet is becoming a popular phenomenon, with 1 in 5 doing this via any equipment (such as games consoles etc..). One in three GB adults have at least one of the latest generation games console in their household.
- Smartphones: Smartphone ownership hit the 50% mark this quarter and has been steadily growing. Ownership of iPhone is at 23% ahead of Android Smartphones (17%) and Blackberry (13%)
- Tablets: Tablet ownership among the GB population is at 13%, with non-iPad ownership increasing steadily with the increasing popularity of android tablets in the market.
The full report will be released mid-December.
