2008-08-26 Thread Ed Anderson
I paid a visit to the Blog site and registered.  Not much there and
virtually nothing on soaring.  There are some media clips but you have to be
someone's friend, apparently, in order to view them.

I am an active forum user, so I will bounce around for a while to get the
feel of the place, but so far nothing interesting.  What little I did find
seemed oriented to powered flight.

Ryan, here is the post from Dave Jones.


_

 The Shaggy Thermal

 Some time ago one of our flying friends, Jim, died. Rather sad
 really because he was such a character. It was typical of him that he
 stated in his will that he was to be buried with his Radio (fully charged)
 and his trusty Monarch HLG.
 Anyway, some few weeks later we had a seance and made contact with
 a strong presence that announced itself as Jim. He was always one to talk
 you leg off and he hadn't changed. The glass dashed madly across the board
 and nearly wore the letters out. The story that unfolded was astonishing
 and is here told and we have no way of verifying it. However here it is,
in
 full, in Jim's own words.

 I have to tell you about soaring in the after life, it's
 certainly different. The first thing that I remember was falling down for
 miles into a dark pit with my Monarch and radio clutched in my hands.
 Eventually I came to a sudden stop in a clean white marble corridor. I was
 not alone for long, a chap in an Armani suit came along and spoke to me.
 Ah yes, Jim isn't it, welcome to our little kingdom.
 Where am I?
 Oh, there is plenty of time for curiosity, all the time you want,
 but to put you in your misery this is Hades.
 Hell!
 Rather an overworked image that, we prefer Hades, it's less
 threatening, and it rhymes better.
 So who are you, the Devil.
 There you go again, no my name is Mephistopheles, and I think
that
 you will find it more correct, politically that is, to call him the Dark
 Lord, or when you get to know him Lucifer. Now come this way.
 We walked down this never ending corridor with white marble doors
 bearing notices in white paint.
 You know this isn't what I had in mind, it looks so clinical,
cool
 and clean.
 Yes, good isn't it. We get a lot of corporate interior designers
 down here so we gave them a break from the Kitsch room.
 The Kitsch room?
 Of course you are new here. You see we don't go in for that fire
 and brimstone stuff, very old fashioned. No, we find that it is best to
 tailor the eternal environment to the client. So we have all of the
 Interior designers living in a house with flock Paisley wallpaper, plastic
 flowers, black vinyl covered chairs, flourescent T.V's. They wear bright
nylon
 hawaian suits and plastic sandals, that sort of thing.
 That's not so bad?
 It is if you are an interior designer he said in an ominous tone
 and laughed.
 Look here's an interesting room, we keep all the Coke heads in
here.
 He pushed open a door to a room stacked with white powder,
mirrors,
 dollar bills and razor blades. Some figures were shuffling around in the
 distance.
 But you have given them everything that they want.
 Mephistopheles laughed.
 Yes, everything, absolutely everything, except. He waited
 expectantly for my question.
 Except what?
 Noses. Nice touch that, it was one of Lucifer's lighter moments.
 He closed the door and we walked on for hours. From time to time
 Mephistopheles would stop and open a door, it was horribly fascinating.
 There were Merchant Bankers trudging streets in ragged clothing with
 begging bowls, Heavy Metal freaks strapped to benches while Donny Osmond
 songs were played at 110 decibels, Nagging Neighbours in rooms whose walls
 were constantly being tapped, and too many more to mention now, another
 time perhaps.
 By now I was getting the idea of how the system worked and I was
 getting worried. We had reached the end of the corridor and were walking
 through a cave.
 Oh Jim, just ignore the decor around here, we haven't modernised
 it yet.
 What are these pits?
 Nothing very special, we call it the Bunyan section, it's so
corny
 now. You see here, this one is for good intentions, that one up ahead, the
 huge one, is full of politicians promises. That one ahead is full of
 advertisers lies. We've already passed the pit of adulteries, quite an
 amusing one that, perhaps my favourite. You see that pile over there, Golf
 balls, the minor demons have great fun stealing them, childish really.
 We were passing the pit of politicians lies and Mephistopheles
 dragged his hand through the slimy surface. He stopped and held up several
 strips of

Hey Gordy: 

We finally got a chance to try out the KY Horse Park field last Sat and it 
should do quite nicely. A bit of a slope, but nothing like Jacobson,  a nice 
wide open field, with a few trees. We had 630 ft of line out, and its should be 
doable in practically all directions. Lift on Sat was very good.

Congrats on the MVSA win.

2008-08-26 Thread Ben Wilson
Bon voyage, RCSE!  I'm surprised that a Windows NT box made it this far, 
to tell you the truth.


I'm surprised I haven't heard more griping, but it's like most of us on 
the RCSE knew that it was going to come down at some point.  It had a 
good run and definitely kept me close to the hobby when my focus shifted 
elsewhere during the off season.


But now we've got some new-fangled options out there.  RCGroups, this 
ModelAircraftNews site, and the Google Group created by Dennis Hoyle. 

I understand al ot of the complaints about RCGroups.  I myself don't 
check in on it as much as I should - and for good reason.  It's a 
discussion based site, and cannot be used like the RCSE.  People check 
RCGroups at their leisure while the RCSE gets sent directly to you.  
It's pull versus push, and the PUSH of the RCSE keeps people reading it. 
RCGroups excels when it comes to focused discussions on topics, and not 
news and notifications.


But now, the MAN and Google Groups systems give us the option to 
continue that conversation, but with a few new gee-gaws and gadgets, 
like uploading media files and creating pages.  Excellent opportunities 
that I think might get used quite a bit.


But which to use?  No disrespect to ModelAirplaneNews, but my choice is 
definitely Google Groups, and here's why:


1. It's more accessible
   - Easier to use
   - Easier to post to (via email or web)
   - Easier to read - I can either get it via email, the web or plug it 
into a news reader like the Google Reader that I already use.
   - Maintains that simple push style that drops the emails in my 
mailbox, and I don't have to check it constantly.


2. It's Google
   - It's not going away any time soon
   - It will be constantly upgraded

Obviously, I'll follow whereever most people go, but I'd prefer Google :)

And there is soaring at yahoogroups.com which has been carrying this  
lists traffic for sometime. Since there are already 1383 members to  
that list and it already carried this lists traffic, it would seem a  
more natural migration. It offers both email push for those of us that  
like that as well as a web interface. It would be my choice over  
RCgroups, MAN and google groups (which seems to require a gmail  
address).

you.  It's pull versus push, and the PUSH of the RCSE keeps people  
reading it. RCGroups excels when it comes to focused discussions on  
topics, and not news and notifications.


But now, the MAN and Google Groups systems give us the option to  
continue that conversation, but with a few new gee-gaws and gadgets,  
like uploading media files and creating pages.  Excellent  
opportunities that I think might get used quite a bit.


But which to use?  No disrespect to ModelAirplaneNews, but my choice  
is definitely Google Groups, and here's why:


1. It's more accessible
  - Easier to use
  - Easier to post to (via email or web)
  - Easier to read - I can either get it via email, the web or plug  
it into a news reader like the Google Reader that I already use.
  - Maintains that simple push style that drops the emails in my  
mailbox, and I don't have to check it constantly.


2. It's Google
  - It's not going away any time soon
  - It will be constantly upgraded

Obviously, I'll follow whereever most people go, but I'd prefer  
Google :)

RCSE has been a great asset.  I have plenty of forum type memberships.  This
was the only push/list serve membership and I liked it.  I am going to miss
it a lot!

I have joined the Google Groups  http://groups.google.com/group/rcse . I
hope to see you all over there so that the RC Soaring Exchange List Serve

[RCSE] Old RCSE Posts

Subject: [RCSE] Thermal Vagrant Meets Bambi, sort of

Thermal Vagrant Meets Bambi

I have not been posting much here lately, due to the
many activities of the season--Ohio's three week deer 
season.  I've been spending about every other day out in the

woods, up in a tree, communing with nature, reading paper
backs and eating cold pop tarts.  Altogether a quality
wilderness experience.

We had a strange deer season this year.  It rained
heavily the weekend before, and then stayed relatively warm,
in the 30's and 40's, and windy.  As a result, the autumn
leaves were as soggy as a half-hour old bowl of corn flakes,
and between that and the wind, you could not hear the deer
moving.  In Ohio, you hunt mostly with your ears, since you
can't see much more than 40 or 50 yards in most of our woods.

There could have been a whole herd of deer doing the
Macarena right behind me, and I wouldn't have known it.

And then there were the left handed deer.  If you are up
in a tree stand with a shotgun or muzzle loader (our
basic choices here in Ohio) and a deer comes up on the wrong
side of your stand, it is virtually impossible to turn around
and shoot in the left handed direction.  I saw a lot of
left handed deer.

So, after three weeks of off and on hunting, I still
haven't fired a shot.  What did I get out of all this?

I had a nuthatch give me the hairy eyeball from six feet
up, and then proceed to bomb me with nuts.  Could have been
worse.
I got to watch a pair of Pilated Woodpeckers work over a
dead tree, throwing chips like little red-headed chainsaws.
I got to watch a young doe bound around in circles,
doing six foot leaps in a meadow, trying to figure out what I
was and what I was doing. (I was taking a leak in a groundhog
hole, holding the wrong weapon at the time.)
I had a couple of really nice naps in the woods, one on
a six foot long flat rock blanketed with heavy green moss.
(Well, why not?  My wife says I make moose calls in my
sleep.)
I observed a long, drawn out, terratorial dispute
between a fox squirrel and a gray squirrel.  The little guy
won.
I ate lunch in four different restaurants where deer
hunters are regarded as normal people.
I got to see the witch hazel flowering among the
rocks of my son's favorite lurking spot, and the bittersweet
blooming a brilliant red in the tops of a scotch pine.
I got the hell out of the office for most of three weeks!
And I found out that my clients and the world get along just
fine without me at my desk.
And I got to see a lot of deer, either from the wrong
side, or from the rear, or from 150 yards out.  Or all of the
above.

So what is the soaring connection?  Well, last summer
one of my flying buddies, Adventures With Bill Hoelcher, said
he was shocked to find out that I was both a deer hunter and
a sailplane pilot.  He said that sailplane flying was such a
peaceful and gentle sport that he didn't see how the same
person could be a deer hunter.   Then I watched Bill enter a
handlaunch contest and proceed to smash the cockpit off a
couple of other planes by circling against the crowd in a
thermal.  I gotta get him out in the woods.

And because of all the time I spent in the woods, I blew my 12 month
flyer status.  I didn't get out once in December.  Although I did scout
some nice Knox County slopes..

[RCSE] RCSE Past Poems

2008-08-26 Thread Mike Lachowski

From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Date: Sun, 22 Dec 1996 15:08:05 -0500
Subject: [RCSE] A Christmas Carol

'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the 'net,
not a hard drive was whirring, it was quiet, you bet!

When out of the modem there arose such a clatter, 
I sprang to my keyboard to see what was the matter.


I booted the system and, and logged on to my sevice,
I downloaded E-mail of volumes quite perverse.

All postings were WACO, a name that's stupendous
for stating the facts in ways that offend us.

He cursed and he ranted, he call us bad names,
and he made lots of fun of our silly airplanes.
On Lucas, on Sal, on Richard, and Phil, 
on Gordon, on Daryl, on Steve and on Bill,

he piled his abuse til they all had their fill.

He's been hiding in Utah and hanging with Mormons,
designing new stuff with a big box of Crayons.

He's merry and laughing about things that aren't funny,
and he's planning a new way to take all our money.

He showed me the drawings for things quite outrageous
and he cackled and howled, he might be contageous!

I shuddered and grimaced and whimpered in fear. 
Could this be our fate for the coming New Year?


In panic I logged off to end this attack, 
and his last words still haunt me.  He said,

I'll be back!

- 

Merry Christmas to the Christians, Happy Hanukkah to the Jews, Muslims and 
Kwanza celebrators, enjoy the Government holidays.


WACO

[RCSE] The posts that meant the most

2008-08-26 Thread Jim Deck
I've been a participant of RCSE since its inception - just when did RCSE 
start, Mike?  The posts that meant the most to me were the messages of 
encouragement I received when, as I was physically unable, my wife posted 
news of my onset of Gullaine Barre Syndrome.  Those posts were a huge help 
to me at that time and during my lengthy recovery.  Before RCSE shuts down, 
I'd like to thank everyone one more time.

[RCSE] YA-RCSE

2008-08-26 Thread Kevin Sheen
Yet another RCSE.

Having enjoyed RCSE for a long time, I too decided to put an alternative up to 
the group.  It is nearly identical to the original in format and function.  It 
is just a plain old e-mail list with an optional digest, and it archives the 
traffic as well.  It won't ever have any advertising (except for the 
wait-and-wail's from Gordy and others) and it isn't out there collecting data 
on you (big brother).

A web based sign up page is here:

http://www.ts3.org/mailman/listinfo/soaring

You can also sign up the old way ( I think it even speaks html e-mail for sign 
up) by sending a message to:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]


take care, Kevin

Jim, I'm trying to remember when  I might have to dig up my old MAN 
Soaring Columns or ESL newsletters to see if I can find some kind of 
date.  The oldest posts I have in my mail software are from 1996.  I 
think it goes back at least to 1994.

are flying seeded MOM, a first for BSS at the Mid Am, and we need to support

is not any different, there is a museum, horse show going on and other
